My Friend Matt And Hena The Whore

Viac o knihe

A continent of permanent revolution, of marauding rebels and despotic governments, yet one of love and laughter, and compassion: this is the Africa of today. 9-year-old Kimo is starved out of his home village by drought. Desperate for help, he sets out for the big city of Bader in the company of his resourceful friends, the visionary Matt, pragmatic Hena and dreaming Golam. Their journey takes them through a country paralysed by the horrors of civil war. Buoyed by laughter, weighed by tragedy and violence this is an impossibly touching, extraordinary accomplishment from an outstanding writer.
