Descriere magazin:
Set against the backdrop of 1970s Nigeria teetering between post-colonial dependency and self-rule,
Before the
Mango Ripens examines the enduring themes of faith, disillusionment, and the search for belonging. Both epic and intimate,
Afabwaje Kurian\'s debut announces a brilliant new talent for readers of Imbolo Mbue and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. In Rabata, everyone has secrets--especially since the arrival of the white American missionaries. Twenty-year-old Jummai is a beautiful and unassuming house girl whose dreams of escaping her home life are disrupted when an unexpected pregnancy forces her to hide her lover\'s identity. Tebeya, an ambitious Dublin-educated doctor, has left prestigious opportunities abroad to return to the small town of her birth, and discovers a painful betrayal when she strives to take control of the mission clinic. Zanya is a young translator, enticed by promises of progress, who comes to Rabata to escape a bitter past and finds himself embroiled in a fight against the American reverend for the heart of the church and town. United by their yearning for change, all three must make difficult decisions that threaten the fragile relationships of the Rabata they know. As tensions mount and hypocrisies are unveiled, the people of Rabata are faced with a question that will transform their town forever: Let the Americans stay, or make them go?
