The book for review today is Afterlives, a 2020 work of historical fiction by the Nobel Prize-winning Zanzibar-born British author Abdulrazak Gurnah.
Set mainly in the first half of the 20th century, the plot follows four protagonists living in an unnamed town on the Swahili coast of what is now Tanzania from the time of German colonial rule until a few years after independence.
