THIRTY YEARS BEHIND A WALL

Step into the story

As Angola approaches independence, Ludo seals herself inside a Luanda apartment. Outside, the city and the country are transformed; inside, survival depends on invention, observation and words written on walls. Agualusa builds a many-voiced novel where history enters even the room intended to keep it out.
