Praise

“An admirable achievement. . . . A serious inquiry into the nature of love, race and empire.” –San Francisco Chronicle“Affecting. . . . Gurnah perfectly renders the breathless exhilaration of first love and his characters–pulled from a time and place that seem to come from firsthand experience–seem true to life.”–The Christian Science Monitor“Gurnah writes beautifully: The brief affair between Amin and Jamila all but burns on the page.”–Los Angeles Times Book Review“Here is a writer at the top of his form, who commands a strong sense of narrative, a meticulous eye for family dynamics, and an understanding of the corrosive psychology of colonialism.” –The Seattle Times“Beautiful, elegial. . . . As seductive as the Zanzibar shore it describes.” —The Boston Globe
