Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. By the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in LiteratureAbbas has never told anyone about his past; about what happened before he was a sailor on the high seas, before he met his wife Maryam outside a Boots in Exeter, before they settled into a quiet life in Norwich with their children, Jamal and Hanna. Now, at the age of sixty-three, he suffers a collapse that renders him bedbound and unable to speak about things he thought he would one day have to.Jamal and Hanna have grown up and gone out into the world. They were both born in England but cannot shake a sense of apartness. Hanna calls herself Anna now, and has just moved to a new city to be near her boyfriend. She feels the relationship is headed somewhere serious, but the words have not yet been spoken out loud. Jamal, the listener of the family, moves into a student house and is captivated by a young woman with dark-blue eyes and her own, complex story to tell. Abbas's illness forces both children home, to the dark silences of their father and the fretful capability of their mother Maryam, who began life as a foundling and has never thought to find herself, until now.________________________Gurnah is a master storyteller' FINANCIAL TIMESGurnah writes with wonderful insight about family relationships and he folds in the layers of history with elegance and warmth' THE TIMES An astounding meditation on family, self and the meaning of home by the Booker-shortlisted author of Desertion Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
