Description
In the aftermath of Sierra Leone’s civil war, three men—Elias Cole, Adrian Lockheart, and Kai Mansaray—find their lives intersecting within the charged atmosphere of a city hospital. Each is trying to outrun a different kind of damage, but the past refuses to stay buried, surfacing through memory, guilt, and the fragile hope of connection. As love grows in unexpected ways, the novel examines how trauma reshapes identity and how survival can be both a refuge and a burden. With Aminatta Forna’s incisive, emotionally precise storytelling, this is a moving exploration of remembrance, healing, and the enduring human need to be seen.
