Omes a search for meaning The often detective story like narrative of this novel thus moves on a primarily interior plane as Farah takes us deep into territory he has charted and mapped and made uniuely his own Chinua Ache A little too repetitious and self conscious to be completely engaging but still a fascinating read It is dated dealing as it does with Soviet influence across Africa and yet sadly still uite timely in recounting the overwhelming damage done by a self aggrandizing African dictator to ordinary people who love their country More importantly its exploration of the bonds between brothers and sisters husbands and wives lovers and tribesmen is beautiful heartbreaking and timeless Not an easy novel to get through but largely enjoyable
