Résumé
White, English, and orphaned at eight, Lilly grows up in Morocco as a Muslim, moves to Harar, Ethiopia, for five years and settles in London after political upheaval makes her vulnerable. She agonizes over the uprootings that famine, corruption, and… political instability caused in Ethiopia in the 1970s and '80s. Also painful is not knowing whether Aziz, her Ethiopian lover, is alive or dead, putting Lilly in a 17-year limbo between grief and desperate hope. Some descriptions of sex and violence. 2005.
