Description

The Drinker of Horizons by Mia Couto is set against the backdrop of war and colonialism in 19th-century Africa. Against this turbulent landscape, a young African woman Imani forms an unexpected bond with a Portuguese sergeant, Germano de Melo.

Imani's life becomes intertwined with that of the imprisoned emperor Ngungunyane and his seven wives as they embark on a perilous journey to Lisbon. This is the third novel in Couto's acclaimed Sands of the Emperor trilogy, which sheds light on a little-known period of history.

Couto gives voice to those silenced by colonialism, revealing the devastating impact of cultural clashes and the beauty and terror of war and love. A powerful and poignant portrayal of a pivotal moment in history, The Drinker of Horizons is a thought-provoking read.
