Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu.

Author of five acclaimed novels, well-traveled, temperate yet self-absorbed, and possessing sharp social skills, Abel is worldly and cultured. Marked by a family history of displacement and endless migration, he also nurtures a desire to find a permanent home somewhere. He is on the verge of naturalizing as a citizen of Mande, a West African country, when he receives news of the death of his mentor and sponsor, the poet Sir Koroma Fouta.

With new signals that Abel's childhood friend, Yacouba, will occupy a high office in Mande, he must decide whether to resume his pursuit of a permanent home, or trust in Valeria's companionship. …
