Admiring Silence - Softcover
The story of a man's escape from his native Zanzibar to come to England to build a new life, and his subsequent return to his homeland, ADMIRING SILENCE is a potent blend of myths and crystalline reality, showing how the telling of stories can make alien surroundings familiar and how the fictions we create often reveal a purer truth.
