Story1
Dottie Badoura Fatma Balfour finds solace amidst the squalor of her childhood by spinning warm tales of affection about her beautiful names. But she knows nothing of their origins, and little of her family history—or the abuse her ancestors suffered as they made their home in Britain. At seventeen, she takes on the burden of responsibility for her brother and sister and is obsessed with keeping the family together. However, as Sophie, lumpen yet voluptuous, drifts away, and the confused Hudson is absorbed into the world of crime, Dottie is forced to consider her own needs.

Dear Catherine, he began. Here I sit, making a meal out of asking you to dinner. I don’t really know how to do it. To have cultural integrity, I would have to send my aunt to speak, discreetly, to your aunt, who would then speak to your mother, who would speak to my mother, who would speak to my father, who would speak to me and then approach your mother, who would then approach you. Demoralised by small persecutions and the squalor and poverty of his life, Daud takes refuge in his imagination.

Poverty and depravity wreak havoc on Hassan Omar’s family. Amid great hardship he decides to escape. The arrival of independence brings new upheavals as well as the betrayal of the promise of freedom. The new government, fearful of an exodus of its most able men, discourages young people from travelling abroad and refuses to release examination results. Deprived of a scholarship, Hassan travels to Nairobi to stay with a wealthy uncle, in the hope that he will release his mother’s rightful share of the family inheritance.

Story1
He thinks, as he escapes from Zanzibar, that he will probably never return, and yet the dream of studying in England matters above that. Things do not happen quite as he imagined—the school where he teaches is cramped and violent, he forgets how it feels to belong. But there is Emma, beautiful, rebellious Emma, who turns away from her white, middle-class roots to offer him love and bear him a child. And in return, he spins stories of his home and keeps her a secret from his family. Twenty years later, the barriers come down in Zanzibar and he is able and compelled to go back.

Una mañana de 1899, Martin Pearce, un escritor, viajero y orientalista inglés, exhausto después de escapar de una banda de ladrones, llega a una pequeña ciudad costera de África Oriental. Allí, en esa población en ruinas al borde de la vida civilizada, se enamora de Rehana, y comienza una apasionada historia de amor que unirá dos culturas y que reverberará a lo largo de tres generaciones y a través de los continentes, desde el África colonial hasta el Londres de los años sesenta.

Ein weiteres Werk des Nobelpreisträgers für Literatur 2021 - erstmals zum Hören. Es ist ein später Novembernachmittag, als Saleh Omar auf dem Flughafen Gatwick landet. In einer kleinen Tasche, dem einzigen Gepäck, das der Mann aus Sansibar bei sich trägt, liegt sein wertvollster Besitz: eine Mahagonischachtel mit Weihrauch. Eben noch war Omar Inhaber eines Geschäftes, er besaß ein Haus, war Ehemann und Vater. Jetzt ist er ein Asylbewerber, und Schweigen ist sein einziger Schutz.

Sansibar in den frühen 1950er-Jahren: Inmitten politischer Umwälzungen und Aufständen gegen die Kolonialherren wachsen die Geschwister Amin, Rashid und Farida auf. Amin, der Mittlere der Brüder, verliebt sich in Jamila, doch beider Leidenschaft zerbricht schon bald am Widerstand seiner Familie und Gerüchten um die Vergangenheit der jungen Frau. Es heißt, ein Fluch liege auf ihrer Verwandtschaft. Im Strudel der Revolution trennen sich die Lebenswege der Geschwister. Rashid beginnt ein Studium in London, das Schicksal von Amin und Jamila lässt ihn aber selbst in der Ferne nicht los.
