★★★★★ A beautiful story in a cruel and violent environment; war and colonisation. They must cling to little happiness or sadness that are their own. By a Nobel prize winner. 🔽 Book review and notes 🔽 A beautiful story told in a cruel and violent environment; war and colonisation. It's a reminder that people's loves get messed up by the external horrible business of war, like African lives affected by wars that are happening in Europe, "nothing to do with us" But importantly, their lives can continue they can have little happiness or sadness that are their own, they must cling to them. And a little magical and personal relationships with the coloniser and colonised makes the story hopeful, despite the violence that's surrounding them. BY THE WINNER OF THE 2021 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE
