A treacherous paradise

Mankell, Henning 1948- (Author). Thompson, Laurie, 1938- (Added Author).

Summary: From the internationally acclaimed author of the Wallander crime series, a dramatic new standalone novel set in turn-of-the-century Sweden and Mozambique, whose indomitable female protagonist is awoken from naivete by her exposure to racism, and by her own unexpected inner strengths. After 2 brief marriages, Hanna Renstrom finds herself a widow twice over, and the owner of a bordello in Portuguese East Africa, a world where colonialism and white supremacy rule, where she is isolated within society by her profession and her sex, and, among the bordello's black prostitutes, by her colour.
