Description
This powerful debut novel tells the story of a stranger in a strange land. After fleeing Zimbabwe, our unnamed protagonist arrives in Harare North, carrying only memories and an email address for his childhood friend. As he navigates life in London, he must confront the weight of his past and the desperation that surrounds him.
The inhabitants of this squat are a complex and often desperate bunch, each with their own struggles to survive. With its fearless politics, laugh-out-loud humor, and unforgettable anti-hero, this novel is an arresting account of life in London as experienced by Africa's dispossessed.
