Abstract: Ethiopia, 1982: After a decade of conflict, the government is determined to quash the Eritrean insurgency once and for all. As head of propaganda, it's Tsegaye's job to keep the people onside. When the Red Star Campaign lands him in Asmara, Tsegaye is swept up in the city's nightlife, the bars and coffeehouses buzzing with spies and government agents. But even as Tsegaye begins to fall in love with Asmara and with bold, dazzling, enigmatic Fiammetti his misgivings about the campaign grow, and soon his loyalties will be tested to their limit. Tsegaye is confronted with the horror of war when the army attacks the insurgents' mountain stronghold, and encounters betrayals that shake his faith in both the regime and human nature.

Abstract: "Ruth, an only child of recent immigrants to New England, lives in an emotionally cold home and attends the local Catholic girl's school on a scholarship. Maria, a beautiful orphan whose Panamanian mother dies by suicide and is taken care of by an ill, unloving aunt, is one of the only other students attending the school on a scholarship. Ruth is drawn forcefully into Maria's orbit, and they fall into an easy, yet intense, friendship. Ruth's devotion to her charming and bright new friend opens up her previously sheltered world.  While Maria, charismatic and aware of her ability to influence others, eases into her full self, embracing her sexuality and her desire to be an artist, Ruth is mostly content to follow her around: to college and then into the early-nineties art world of New York City. There, ambition and competition threaten to rupture their friendship, while strong and unspoken forces pull them together over the years. Whereas Maria finds early success in New York City as an artist, Ruth stumbles along the fringes of the art world, drawn toward a quieter life of work and marriage. As their lives converge and diverge, they meet in one final and fateful confrontation. Ruth and Maria's decades-long friendship interrogates the nature of intimacy, desire, class, and time. What does it mean to be an artist and to be true to oneself? What does it mean to give up on an obsession? Marking the arrival of a sensational new literary talent, Lonely Crowds challenges us to reckon honestly with our own ambitions and the lives we hope to lead."--  ASC Subject Headings: Kenya. ; novels (form) ; ]]></description><category>Kenya.</category><category>novels (form)</category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 09:15:49 +0000</pubDate></item><item><category>Book</category><link>https://catalogue.leidenuniv.nl/permalink/31UKB_LEU/s5ab2f/alma9940719967002711</link><title>Hafsatu Bebi : a story about identity and loss / Fatima Bala.</title><description><![CDATA[[Place of publication not identified] : [Fatima Bala], [2023] Abstract: Hafsatu Gaya's life is seemingly perfect. A blossoming career in design, a relationship with one of Abuja's most eligible bachelors, and parents whose marriage seems solid.

Abstract: For readers of Oyinkan Braithwaite's My Sister the Serial Killer and Bella Mackie's How to Kill Your Family, this is a monstrous, gleeful, bitingly funny tale of murder, body-swapping and bloody vengeance from the recipient of the Bram Stoker Award(R) for Lifetime Achievement and 'Queen of African Horror'. Betrayed by the men in their lives, two women seethe with rage and bitterness. When a trickster spirit offers them the gift of revenge, they cannot resist. Chia runs one of the best restaurants in Abuja, Nigeria, and is renowned among the male clientele for her captivating beauty and delicious hot pepper soup. But her hot pepper soup has a secret ingredient, and her beauty is not what it seems. Claire is a 50 year-old British woman living in Abuja with her young Nigerian boyfriend and his beautiful cousin, Shade. Consumed by jealousy and resentment, Claire's carefully organised life spirals into chaos after a night out at Chia's infamous restaurant. Crackling with wit, this is a blood-soaked, expletive-laden, vengeance-filled horror story. Satirical, twisty and murderous, this is bloody, deadly fun from a writer at the top of her game.

The Guardians have a vital role to secure a secret border--the Hogiiri Hile Halah, a proactive invisible wall--protecting the federation of planets from the Nga'phandileh, creatures of unreality. But imprisoned Chant'L discovers that sound magic is inborn--never truly lost or taken. She channels energy from two spirit moons and, in an act of revenge, summons a creature of unreality to wreak havoc on the planets. Only her magic is flawed and she gets more than she bargained for when a trinity of Nga'phandileh slips from unreality, and is more uncontained than anyone could have imagined. Now the Guardians in Sector Z find themselves with a bigger problem they must not only keep secret, but resolve. A glossary of Bantu, Afrocentric and made-up words complements this genre-bending, cross-cultural novella"--Publisher's description.

Abstract: "Shamiso is a young girl, thoughtful but uncertain, taken by her family from rural Zimbabwe to bustling Harare. As she grows up there, she watches the world: her distant, stern father, her angry stepmother and her father's strange, loving cousin, the elderly Jimson, who encourages Shamiso to discover her passion for art, her place in their family, and her voice in the world. When she takes a leap to leave Zimbabwe behind for Brighton, England, Shamiso must find a new family and a new way of living. There she falls in love for the first time with George - whose female identity, Georgie, is everything Shamiso has ever wanted or needed. But can such happiness last, when neither of them knows yet who they truly are?"--Provided by publisher.
