The second in the author's Blood in the Sun trilogy, the novel explores life in Somolia through two decades of civil strife.
Review:
"Unlike MAPS and SECRETS, where the chief female presence is attractive but ambiguous and even predatory, GIFTS--perhaps because it is told consistently from a woman's point of view and centers on concerns that are tangibly feminine--gives us the portrait of a powerful yet vulnerable woman, a matriarch who can be rendered homeless in a moment by a male landlord's whim."
Chitra Divakaruni, Wall Street Journal, 09/10/1999

Book Description: Arcade. 1 Cloth(s), 1999. hard. Book Condition: New. The second part of his Blood in the Sun trilogy, following Maps, Nuruddin Farah's Gifts looks at the power of gifts for givers and recipients—be they families, nations, or a single woman—through the story of a Somali family and its matriarch Duniya, a widowed nurse who at 35 may have finally found love. The winner of the prestigious Neustadt International Prize for Literature and a perennial nominee for the Nobel Prize, Farah is best known for this brilliant trilogy, set amid the revolutionary and civil wars of his native country in the late 20th century. "In this potlatch of a novel, [Farah] piles on stories, debates, analogies and quirky polyglot insights—and then ends with a sly, gracious apology for overdoing it. This is a man who knows how to give, with style."—NYTBR 246. Bookseller Inventory # 02661 Bookseller & Payment Information | More Books from this Seller | Ask Bookseller a Question |
