Description

At the turn of the nineteenth century, the Gaza province of Mozambique is drowning in a torrent of war.

Imani, a fifteen-year-old girl, struggles with her cultural identity as she is torn between her VaChopi roots and the occupying Portuguese.

Her life becomes further fractured as her family is broken apart amid the conflict.

Germano, a sergeant wrestling with guilt and grandeur, attempts to subdue one of the last African kingdoms, but meanwhile falls in love with Imani and loses himself to an infectious madness.

In this vivid and enchanting novel, Mia Couto masterfully interweaves history with folklore and has managed to create a work of rare originality and imagination.
