About this product
Product Information
A police inspector is investigating a strange murder, a case in which all the suspects are eager to claim responsibility for the act.....Set in a former Portuguese fort which stored slaves and ivory, Under the Frangipani combines fable and allegory, dreams and myths with an earthy humour. The dead meet the living, language is invented, reality is constantly changing.....In a story which is partly a thriller, partly an exploration of language itself, Mia Couto surprises and delights, and shows just why he is one of the most important African writers of today.

Reviews
"Couto's tale unfolds on two levels: first, as a mystery story, for the fantastic confessions generate a 'whodunnit' suspense; more demandingly as a thematic puzzle."--TLS "To read Mia Couto is to encounter a peculiarily African sensibility, a writer of fluid, fragmentary narratives.... A remarkable novel."--New Statesman "Blending history, death, and a uniquely African flavour of magic realism.... A powerful and trenchant evocation of life in a society traumatised by decades of war and poverty."--New Internationalist, This is an original and fresh tale quite unlike anything else I have read from Africa. I enjoyed it very much.
