A Jigsaw of Fire and Stars book by Yaba Badoe
By Yaba BadoeA Jigsaw of Fire and Stars book by Yaba Badoe
A potent, powerful, haunting contemporary debut that steps seamlessly from the horrors of people-trafficking to the magic of African fairy tale and folklore by an award-winning Ghanaian-British filmmaker. Sante was a baby when she was washed ashore in a sea-chest laden with treasure. It seems she is the sole survivor of the tragic sinking of a ship carrying refugees. Her people. Fourteen years on she's a member of Mama Rose's unique and dazzling circus. But, from their watery grave, the unquiet dead are calling Sante to avenge them: A bamboo flute. A golden band. A ripening mango which must not fall . . . if Sante is to tell their story and her own. Rich in the rhythms and colours of Africa and glittering circus days. Unflinching in its dark revelations about life. Yaba Badoe's novel is beautiful and cruel and will linger long in the memory. Published By on 2017-09-07
