Old Drift
Old Drift
'Extraordinary, ambitious, evocative, dazzling' SALMAN RUSHDIE
On the banks of the Zambezi River, a few miles from the majestic Victoria Falls, there was once a colonial settlement called The Old Drift.
In 1904, in a smoky room at the hotel across the river, an Old Drifter named Percy M. Clark, foggy with fever, makes a mistake that entangles his fate with those of an Italian hotelier and an African busboy.
So begins a cycle of unwitting retribution between three Zambian families as they collide and converge over the course of the century, into the present and beyond.
'Brilliant . . . heartbreaking' Sunday Times
'Electric . . . Serpell is a major talent' Financial Times
'A novel that satisfies on all levels' Alice Sebold
'Charming, heartbreaking and breathtaking' Carmen Maria Machado
