DESCRIPTION-‘I live on Brazzaville Beach. Brazzaville Beach on the edge of Africa. ' So Hope Clearwater declares at the beginning of William Boyd's audacious and fascinating new novel. What is she doing there, a young woman, alone, far from her family in England? Why has Brazzaville Beach become her refuge? The answers to these questions make up the interlocking strands of Hope Clearwater's compelling story. She is living on Brazzaville Beach because of two sets of shocking and extraordinary events, and she needs time to evaluate their effects. Two sequences of events-BMO stories for Hope to tell. The first in England and the second in Africa. She fled to Africa to escape what happened in England and then, as that mysterious continent invariably will, it embroiled her further. So, on Brazzaville Beach she examines the complex and baffling circumstances of her marriage and her career, looking for answers to her many questions, sifting the details for evidence of her innocence or guilt, searching for the invisible, irrefutable rules that govern human behavior. Hope tells her engrossing story with a beguiling honesty that not only intrigues and disturbs but is also completely enthralling. Brazzaville Beach won the 1990 James Tait Black Memorial Prize, a literary award established in Britain in 1919. Previous winners include Salman Rushdie for Midnight's Children, E. M. Forster for Passage to India, and D. H. Lawrence for The Lost Girl. inventory #15359.
