With an introduction by Yiyun Li, author of A Thousand Years of Good Prayers.Salim has spent most of his life on the east coast of Africa, living and working with his family. When he sets out to build a new life for himself, moving to an unnamed country in the heart of the continent he believes he is doing so to fulfil his duty as a man. He buys a small shop in a sleepy town, at a bend in the river, where he sells sundries to the locals.First published in 1979, A Bend in the River serves as a microcosm of a changing world, his bend in the river is a scene of chaos, violent change, warring tribes, ignorance, isolation and poverty.

A great novel of Africa from the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
