Veranda cu frangipani

The setting of this book was the one that picked my interest. Getting to know post-colonial Mozambique through its legends and traditions was a worthwhile endeavor. Having as narrator a spirit that can inhabit people is also a great device. However, I'm not convinced this was the best translation and I can't say I felt at all an emotional connection. And I'm sure I missed a lot of the symbolism by not having a lot of knowledge about this part of the world.
