Coetzee\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCaptured, abducted and married into Boko Haram, the narrator of this story witnesses and suffers the horrors of a community of men governed by a brutal code of violence. Barely more than a girl herself, she must soon learn how to survive as a woman with a child of her own. Just as the world around her seems entirely consumed by madness, bound for hell, she is offered an escape of sorts - but only into another landscape of trials and terrors amidst the unforgiving wilds of northeastern Nigeria, through the forest and beyond; a place where her traumas are met with the blinkered judgement of a society in denial. How do we love in a world that has lost its moorings? How can we comprehend the barbarism of our enemies, and learn forgiveness for atrocities committed in the name of ideology?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished: 2019\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCategory: Fiction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePages: 230\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 198 x 129 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: Remaindered books or remainders\u003c\/strong\u003e are printed books that are over stocks and are sold at reduced prices.
