"[An] elegantly written mix of complex history, riveting memoir and damning exposé," from this award-winning Sierra Leonean author (
Publishers Weekly).
As a child, Aminatta Forna was witness to the political upheaval and social unrest of post-colonial Africa. Forced to flee her home for exile in Britain, she was subject to the consequences of her dissident father's actions.
After war had abated in Sierra Leone, Aminatta's father, Mohamed, returned to his country to be part of the fledgling democracy. But as progress gave way to dictatorships and corruption, Mohamed soon found himself caught in a dangerous political battle, imprisoned for his beliefs and facing far worse.
Years later, Aminatta returns to her home country as an adult and a journalist. Searching for the truth of her father's fate and her country's destiny, she uncovers a harrowing web of intrigue, conspiracy, and painful revelations.
The Devil That Danced on the Water is an "extremely moving" memoir of family, heritage, and innocence lost (
The Guardian).
