Book
A treacherous paradise / Henning Mankell ; translated from the Swedish by Laurie Thompson.
"In 1904, Hanna Renstrom boards a ship bound for Australia hoping to escape the cold and poverty that have dominated her life in Sweden. Her harrowing journey lands her in Portuguese East Africa, where white colonialism rules, and where she becomes a peculiar outsider: she is on the outskirts of colonial society, because of her gender and profession as the owner of a bordello, and separated from the African prostitutes with whom she lives due to her skin color. As her life becomes increasingly intertwined with the brothel, Hanna moves inexorably toward the moment when one decision will defy all the expectations society has of her and, most important, those she has of herself."--BOOK COVER.
