Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Stated First Edition. Yellow paper-covered boards with green backstrip and red metallic lettering. Signed and inscribed by the author on the title page: "To____, Peter Orner, New Newburyport, MA April, 2006" Text is otherwise clean and white, no marks. Unclipped jacket bright and clean. "When Mavala Shikongo deserted them, the teachers at Goas weren't surprised. How could they be? She was too beautiful, too powerful, and too mysterious for their tiny, remote world. They had a thousand theories about their departed colleague and only one essential fact: she was a combat veteran of Namibia's brutal war for independence. This extradordinary novel is a chronicle of longing in an arid place where people create an alternate, more fertile universe through the stories they tell one another. History is given a truly human voice." (from the jacket). Seller Inventory # U41111
