“Theroux’s bravely unsentimental novel about a region where he began his own grand career should become part of anybody’s education in the continent.”
Washington Post
Ellis Hock runs a menswear store in Massachusetts but still dreams of the four years he spent in Malawi. When his wife leaves him, he realizes that there is one place for him to go: back to Malawi on the remote Lower River, where he can be happy again. Arriving at the dusty village, he finds it transformed, but the locals remember him and welcome him back. Is his new life an escape … or a trap?
Interweaving memory and desire, hope and despair, this is a hypnotic, compelling, and brilliant return to a terrain no one has written better about than Theroux.
