Description
Bloomsbury presents Gravel Heart by Abdulrazak Gurnah, read by Damian Lynch.
By the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature.
For seven-year-old Salim, the pillars upholding his small universe—his indifferent father, his adored uncle, his treasured books, the daily routines of government school and Koran lessons—seem unshakeable.
But it is the 1970s, and the winds of change are blowing through Zanzibar: suddenly Salim’s father is gone, and the island convulses with violence and corruption the wake of a revolution. It will only be years later, making his way through an alien and hostile London, that Salim will begin to understand the shame and exploitation festering at the heart of his family’s history.
Commentaires
"Gurnah is a master storyteller." (Aminatta Forna, Financial Times)
"The elegance and control of Gurnah's writing, and his understanding of how quietly and slowly and repeatedly a heart can break, make this a deeply rewarding novel." (Kamila Shamsie, Guardian)
"Gurnah writes with wonderful insight about family relationships and he folds in the layers of history with elegance and warmth." (The Times)
