DESCRIPTION - Ana-Paula had come to Africa as a bride, no longer young, but still with a child's romantic expectation of a new and exciting world free of the constraints of Lisbon family life. She found instead a frightening alien land, pulsing with an indefinable breath of its own earth. Her husband, Carlos, ran a coffee plantation in northern Angola, up on the Congolese border. His life had nothing to offer her. Childless, their fleeting point of sympathy was lost in the tropical dust. In the heat of Africa she had frozen over. Then one morning, seven years later, they woke to find the servants had gone in the night and the insurgents' jeeps were arriving from over the river. Elsa Joubert tells a relentlessly horrifying story with great restraint and precision. It is a grim parable for our times. inventory #612.
