Luanda, Angola, 1990. Ndalu is a normal twelve-year-old boy in an
extraordinary time and place. Like his friends, he enjoys laughing
at his teachers, avoiding homework and telling tall tales. But
Ndalus teachers are Cuban, his homework assignments include writing
essays on the role of workers and peasants, and the tall tales he
and his friends tell are about a criminal gang called Empty Crate
which specializes in attacking schools. Ndalu is mystified by the
family servant, Comrade Antnio, who thinks that Angola worked
better when it was a colony of Portugal, and by his Aunt Dada, who
lives in Portugal and doesnt know what a ration card is. In a
charming voice that is completely original, Good Morning Comrades
tells the story of a group of friends who create a perfect
childhood in a revolutionary socialist country fighting a bitter
war. But the world is changing around these children, and like all
childhoods, Ndalus cannot last. An internationally acclaimed novel,
already published in half a dozen countries, Good Morning Comrades
is an unforgettable work of fiction by one of Africas most exciting
younger writers.
