Beskrivelse
A compelling story from the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature winner, following a man who leaves Zanzibar with hopes of studying in England. His journey takes unexpected turns, shaped by love, identity, and the pull of home.
A powerful narrative about displacement, love, and the search for belonging across continents and time.
As he escapes from Zanzibar, he believes he may never return, yet the dream of studying in England drives him forward. Life unfolds differently than he imagined-his teaching job is in a cramped, harsh school, and he gradually loses the sense of belonging he once had.
Then there’s Emma-beautiful and rebellious-who rejects her white, middle-class background to offer him love and the promise of a family. In return, he shares stories of his homeland and keeps their relationship hidden from her family.
Two decades later, when the barriers in Zanzibar finally fall, he feels both able and compelled to go back. What he finds there, in a story rich with truth, reshapes his entire outlook on life.
