Description

From the winner of the 2018 Writers' Guild AwardVanish to a different land with Sissy Olikara.

Sissy is twelve years old, living with her parents and baby brother on a school campus outside Lusaka.

It is 1978, and the political situation in Zambia is becoming volatile.

The family enjoy a gentle life until, suddenly, Sissy's father leaves and returns to India. His departure brings about a chain of events which force Sissy into the adult world and have profound, long-lasting consequences. Moving back and forth in time as the adult Sissy reflects on her childhood, The Wild Wind is a haunting, absorbing coming-of-age tale of lost loves and lost innocence - one that takes readers on a journey into a young woman's past and its repercussions on her future. Featured on the Guardian's 'NOT THE BOOKER LONGLIST, 2019'(https://www.theguardian.com/books/series/not-the-booker-prize)
