When he was just a boy, Ilyas was stolen from his parents on the coast of east Africa by German colonial troops. After years away, fighting against his own people, he returns home to find his parents gone and his sister, Afiya, abandoned into de facto slavery. Hamza too, is back from the war. He was not stolen but sold into service, where he became the protégé of an officer whose special interest has left him literally scarred for life. With nothing but the clothes on his back, he seeks only steady work and safety - until he meets the beautiful, undaunted Afiya. As these young people live and work and fall in love, their fates knotted ever more tightly together, the shadow of a new war on another continent falls over them, ready to snatch them up and once again carry them away. Spanning from the end of the nineteenth century, when the Europeans carved up Africa, on through the tumultuous decades of revolt and suppression that followed, AFTERLIVES is an astonishingly moving portrait of survivors refusing to sacrifice their humanity to the violent forces that assail them"--cProvided by publisher. 0aAfrica, EastxColonizationxHistoryy20th centuryvFiction. 0aGermanyxColonieszAfricaxHistoryy20th centuryvFiction. 7aHistorical fiction.2lcgft 7aNovels.2lcgft08iOnline version:aGurnah, Abdulrazak, 1948-tAfterlivesdNew York : Riverhead Books, 2022z9780593541906w(DLC) 2021055897  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccBKh823.914iGUR/Ak823.914mGUR/A  00102ddc40708FICaMESbMEScENGd2023-10-05l4m2o823.914 GUR/Ap42771r2025-04-05 12:33:18s2025-03-17v499.00w2023-10-05yBKzGR23R1  c42539d42539
