Produktinformationen zu „Elegy for Easterly “
Petina Gappah is the voice of Zimbabwe. In this astonishingly powerful debut collection, she dissects with real poignancy the lives of people caught up in a situation over which they have no control, as they deal with spiralling inflation, power cuts and financial hardship - a way of life under Mugabe's regime - and cope with issues common to all people everywhere; failed promises, disappointments and unfulfilled dreams. Compelling, unflinching and tender, AN ELEGY FOR EASTERLY is a defining book, and a stunning portrait of a country in chaotic meltdown.
