Acerca deste audiolibro

Brought to you by Penguin.

The twice Booker-shortlisted author returns with his third novel, THE ROAD TO THE COUNTRY, about a young man, Tunde, whose brother is involved in an accident and stranded just as the Biafran war begins. Tunde spends the novel travelling through a war zone to be reunited with his brother - to bring him home and to ask for forgiveness for the part he played in the accident, a part his brother has no knowledge of.

A modern day BAND OF BROTHERS or BIRDSONG, THE ROAD TO THE COUNTRY is set to stand alongside HALF OF A YELLOW SUN as the defining novel of one of the most devastating civil wars of the 20th century.
