Kwashala Blues

Kwashala Blues opens up to the reader with the portrait of a Maputo marked by sensations and memories. Returning to Nampula for the first time, on the occasion of his father's death and five years after leaving the city, a young law clerk in the capital begins a journey to the north of the country and, at the same time, begins a journey into his past and into the history of Mozambique. If the Mozambican capital ends up being a vibrant counterpoint to Nampula, that city takes on more defined contours as we travel through the lives of its inhabitants, between Muahivire and Namicopo.
