Author: Jonny Steinberg Publisher: Jonathan Ball (2014) ISBN-10: 1868424421 ISBN-13: 9781868424429 Condition: Very Good. Remainder marking on the fore-edge. Binding: Softcover Pages: 336 Dimensions: 23.2 x 15.2 x 2.5 cm +++ by Jonny Steinberg +++ In January 1991, when civil war came to Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, two-thirds of the citys population fled. Among them was eight-year-old Asad Abdullahi. His mother murdered by a militiaman, his father somewhere in hiding, he was swept into the great wartime migration that scattered the Somali people throughout sub-Saharan Africa and the world.
A Man of Good Hope is the story of a person shorn of the things we have come to believe make us human personal possessions, parents, siblings. And yet Asad's is an intensely human life, one suffused with dreams and desires and a need to leave something of permanence on this earth.
