The Devil That Danced on the Water: A Daughter's Quest Paperback - 2003
by Aminatta Forna
Praised as "a shining example of what autobiography can be: harrowing, illuminating and thoughtful" ("USA Today"), Forna's intensely personal history is a passionate and vivid account of an idyllic childhood that became the stuff of nightmare.
About this book
Recounts the author's childhood in postcolonial Africa, her dissident father's actions against British tyranny that resulted in his imprisonment, and her struggle to learn his fate and expose the conspiracy surrounding his death.
First line
In the early morning he stands in the doorway of his hut and listens for the distant rumble.
