About this book
Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam at the end of the twentieth century, as tourism, money and outside expectations begin to reshape the coast. Three young people — a boy passed between households, the daughter of an ambitious family, and a bright, restless servant — grow up entangled in each other's ambitions and small betrayals. The Nobel laureate writes with calm, watchful clarity about class, migration and the quiet theft of other people's futures. Domestic in scale yet historically alert, it is a patient, absorbing novel in which nothing is shouted and everything accumulates.
