Now, newly arrived at London's Gatwick Airport, he is just another asylum seeker. A mahogany box of fragrant ud is his most precious possession, silence his only protection. Meanwhile, Latif Mahmud, a young professor, lives quietly alone in his London flat. When the two encounter each other in an English seaside town, the narratives each carries of their shared past begin to unravel -- revealing an infinitely more fascinating story of love and betrayal, of seduction and possession, of people struggling for stability amid the maelstrom of their times."--Back cover. 541 $d 20231211. 650 4 $a Immigrants $z England $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Emigration and immigration $x Fiction. 650 $a Political refugees $z England $v Fiction. 650 4 $a College teachers $z England $v Fiction. 650 $a Tanzanians $z England $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Deception $x Fiction. 650 $a Revenge $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Large type books. 651 $a Zanzibar $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 4 $a Political fiction. 700 $a Forna, Aminatta. 941 $a 1 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20240622013715.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC50FB86305C11EFB38D90F13EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
