Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"The best novel this year, and doubtless for some to come... the whole is not only dizzyingly readable, but also has that feeling, rare and unforgettable in contemporary fiction, of everything being at stake - ethically, emotionally and imaginatively" (Independent)

"A comedy of manners crackling with ideas: about feminism, commitment, politics, Africa and the West. Rush brilliantly sustains the voice of his central character... and makes the post-colonial city and the new community itself familiar and concrete" (Observer)

"[A] striking success" (Guardian)

Reseña del editor:

The first major novel by the author of the critically-acclaimed short story collection Whites.

A comedy of manners on the grandest scale, the story revolves around two Americans on the loose (one of them on the prowl) in developing Africa. It follows a woman's search for a worthy male, which takes her from her academic anthropology studies to a utopian matriarchal community in Botswana. A modern, international, male rewriting of Pride and Prejudice, this is a bold and extraordinary book.

Winner of the Irish Times International Fiction Prize.
