Requests:  0 Summary:  "From the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature, a sweeping, multi-generational saga of displacement, loss, and love, set against the brutal colonization of east Africa. When he was just a boy, Ilyas was stolen from his parents on the coast of east Africa by German colonial troops. After years away, fighting against his own people, he returns home to find his parents gone and his sister, Afiya, abandoned into de facto slavery. Hamza too, is back from the war. He was not stolen but sold into service, where he became the protégé of an officer whose special interest has left him literally scarred for life. With nothing but the clothes on his back, he seeks only steady work and safety--until he meets the beautiful, undaunted Afiya. As these young people live and work and fall in love, their fates knotted ever more tightly together, the shadow of a new war on another continent falls over them, ready to snatch them up and once again carry them away. Spanning from the end of the nineteenth century, when the Europeans carved up Africa, on through the tumultuous decades of revolt and suppression that followed, AFTERLIVES is an astonishingly moving portrait of survivors refusing to sacrifice their humanity to the violent forces that assail them"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Gurnah Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Gurnah Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Gurnah Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Gurnah Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction Gurnah Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Gurnah Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Gurnah Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Gurnah Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Fiction Gurnah Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Gurnah Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
