Something is Going to Fall Like Rain [Paperback]

A novel of great humanity and compassion. --The Guardian

A moving, beautifully written novel that captures Africa in all its humanity and heartbreak...A book of meat and emotion, blood and fire, it is a story of our time. And a masterpiece. --Tony Parsons

An authentic, wellwritten and deeply-felt portrait of the tragedy that is South Sudan. --John Le Carré

In Adek, a tiny village in the sprawling desert of Southern Sudan, a community lives on a knife-edge of starvation and war, at the mercy of the bombs that fall from the sky like rain. When three western aidworkers are stranded here - a place where poets carry Kalashnikovs and rebel commanders wear pink dressing gowns - their presence brings hope and danger in equal measure. An ominous ode to Africa's violent beauty, Something is Going to Fall Like Rain is also a life-affirming reminder that love and happiness can co-exist with famine and conflict.
