Product Description
Review
"'Couto is the most prominent of the younger generation of writers in Portuguese-speaking Africa. Couto passionately and sensitively describes everyday life in poverty-stricken Mozambique' Guardian 'Mia Couto is a white man with an African soul' Henning Mankell"
Product Description
A police inspector is investigating a strange murder, a case in which all the suspects are eager to claim responsibility for the act. Set in a former Portuguese fort which stored slaves and ivory, Under the Frangipani combines fable and allegory, dreams and myths with an earthy humour. The dead meet the living, language is invented, reality is constantly changing. In a story which is partly a thriller, partly an exploration of language itself. Mia Couto surprises and delights, and shows just why he is one of the most important African writers of today.
