Krátky popis
‘Where are the fragments of the life you have lived?’2005In
Atlanta, Benjamin, a white-passing man of Nigerian heritage, is
wondering what his life has been made up of, broken relationships,
attempts to forge an identity from others’ memories. In Lagos,
Margaret, a Nigerian single mother, is trying to decipher and
finally destroy the mental malaise that has troubled her for as
long as she can remember, by winding her way through a complex
family history. Though they are no longer the twenty-somethings
they once were when they met, and the 40 years that have passed
since they last saw one another might suggest they are strangers,
there is a deep and unsettling history that has bound them together
since long before they were born.1905A well-respected chief in
Umumilo village, Nigeria, Okolo has always followed tradition. Then
three of the young village women – including his sister, who
follows the white man’s God – are shrouded in scandal, and Okolo is
forced to choose which path to take: that of least resistance,
embracing the ways of the white man to save his village and his
sister’s pride, or the other, preserving the ways that have
sustained generations – but at what cost?A beautifully crafted
multi-generational story of family history and identity, This Kind
of Trouble is a powerful debut that asks what makes up a life, and
how when it’s broken, we might put it together again.
