Description

Borderlines by Michela Wrong is a gripping courtroom drama that explores the complexities of Western engagement with Africa. When British lawyer Paula Shackleton takes on a case in North Darrar, she finds herself entangled in a web of moral compromise and forced to confront her own role in the system. As she delves into the heart of the conflict, Paula's professional detachment begins to crumble, revealing a young woman struggling to find redemption. With its richly detailed portrayal of the Horn of Africa, this taut legal thriller probes the motives underlying Western involvement on the continent, questioning the value of universal justice and the power of history. Through Paula's anguished quest for redemption, Wrong raises important questions about the nature of justice and the human cost of conflict.
