About this audiobook
He is eighteen now. The lake has changed.
Water hyacinth chokes the western shore. The boy returns to Bukoba from a Quran madrasa — body disciplined, two inheritances meeting: Walangila and Muslim. There is also a woman, twenty-three, who knows what she wants.
A novel about first love and the cost of leaving, set against the moment a generation discovered the lake itself had changed.
Book Two of the SILT trilogy. Mature themes.
