Old Drift - Namwali Serpell

Old Drift

'Extraordinary, ambitious, evocative, dazzling' SALMAN RUSHDIE

On the banks of the Zambezi River, a few miles from the majestic Victoria Falls, there was once a colonial settlement called The Old Drift.

In 1904, in a smoky room at the hotel across the river, an Old Drifter named Percy M. Clark, foggy with fever, makes a mistake that entangles his fate with those of an Italian hotelier and an African busboy.

So begins a cycle of unwitting retribution between three Zambian families as they collide and converge over the course of the century, into the present and beyond.

'Brilliant . . . heartbreaking' Sunday Times

'Electric . . . Serpell is a major talent' Financial Times

'A novel that satisfies on all levels' Alice Sebold

'Charming, heartbreaking and breathtaking' Carmen Maria Machado
