Klappentext zu „The Flower Plantation “
Arthur Baptiste knows little of Rwandas past and is unaware of its emerging troubles. He lives with his parents on a flower plantation where he talks to no one, not even the butterflies he collects, until one day Beni appears. Beni, the cooks daughter, is a child much like Arthur but one who lives in a world far different from his own. Their friendship will take them from innocent adventures, to sexual encounters and on towards dark revelations When news comes that the President has been killed Arthur is forced to leave his home, the country he knows and the people he loves. Arthur must say goodbye to Beni and leave her to a fate far worse than either could have imagined.
Autoren-Porträt von Nora A. Brown
Nora Brown was born in Scotland and moved to London at the age of seventeen to study composing at the Royal Academy of Music. After graduating she worked for five years as an assistant for various high-profile individuals in the music industry, before moving to Durham to become a doctor. It was at medical school that she realized her dream of becoming a writer, and she returned to Scotland to pursue her writing career. In 2010 a trip to Rwanda gave Nora the inspiration for her novel, The Flower Plantation, and her passion for Africa. Having won the Lightship First Chapter Prize with her opening chapter, she completed Creative Writing Masters at BathSpa University. Nora lives near St Andrews in Scotland with her husband. The Flower Plantation is Nora's first novel.
