LONGLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL FICTION 2021 <br/>LONGLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE 2021 <br/> <br/>'Riveting and heartbreaking ... A compelling novel, one that gathers close all those who were meant to be forgotten, and refuses their erasure' Maaza Mengiste, Guardian <br/> <br/>'A brilliant and important book for our times, by a wondrous writer' Philippe Sands, New Statesman, Books of the Year <br/> <br/>While he was still a little boy, Ilyas was stolen from his parents by the German colonial troops. After years away, fighting in a war against his own people, he returns to his village to find his parents gone, and his sister Afiya given away. <br/> <br/>Another young man returns at the same time. Hamza was not stolen for the war, but sold into it; he has grown up at the right hand of an officer whose protection has marked him life. With nothing but the clothes on his back, he seeks only work and security - and the love of the beautiful Afiya. <br/> <br/>As fate knots these young people together, as they live and work and fall in love, the shadow of a new war on another continent lengthens and darkens, ready to snatch them up and carry them away... <br/> <br/>'Rarely in a lifetime can you open a book and find that reading it encapsulates the enchanting qualities of a love affair ... One scarcely dares breathe while reading it for fear of breaking the enchantment' The Times
