Description
A man returns home to sub-Saharan Africa after 26 years in exile in America. He finds that he doesn't recognize the country or anyone in it, but is greeted by someone who knows him as brother.
As they travel together, his purpose becomes clear: he's searching for his real brother, who is dying. Maya Binyam's debut novel tells the story of this complex journey, navigating a world of phantoms and tricksters, aid workers and strangers, relatives and riddles.
This is a strangely honest tale of one man's search for refuge - in both worlds he inhabits.
