Description
Set against the backdrop of an Africa increasingly corrupted by colonialism and violence, Paradise is a rich tapestry of myth, dreams and Biblical and Koranic tradition. This is the story of a young boy's coming of age, as he navigates the complexities of his own identity and the world around him.
Born into a life of debt, Yusuf's journey is one of self-discovery and growth, as he comes to terms with his circumstances and the expectations of those around him. A powerful exploration of colonialism, identity and belonging, Paradise is a thought-provoking and deeply moving novel.
