Part generational history, part detective story and part social chronicle, Vassanji's novel magnificently conjures both setting and period as it explores the notions of identity and exile in colonial East Africa in the early twentieth-century.
When Pius Fernandes, a retired schoolteacher living in modern day Dar es Salaam, discovers a diary of a British colonial administrator from 1913, he is drawn into a provocative account of the Asian community of East Africa, and the liaisons, feelings and secrets of its people, over the course of a century.
