”wonderful” (Maaza Mengiste)
depiction of the life of an immigrant as he struggles to come to terms with the horror of his past and the meaning of his life in England.
Dear Catherine,
he began.
Here I sit, making a meal out of asking you to dinner. I don't really know how to do it. To have cultural integrity, I would have to send my aunt to speak, discreetly, to your aunt, who would then speak to your mother, who would speak to my mother, who would speak to my father, who would speak to me and then approach your mother, who would then approach you.
Daud has immigrated to England in the wake of political turmoil in his native Tanzania. For years, he has tried to hide his past. But when he meets Catherine, he is determined to recount for her the stories of his tragic upbringing, his flight to England, and the racism in his new homeland.
Structured as a pilgrimage, one which leads Daud deep into the pain and beauty of the past and forward into a new understanding of his life in exile,
Pilgrims Way
is a captivating, lyrical story about identity, memory, and immigration.
