PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hamilton's captivating third novel (after 2004's The Distance Between Us) follows Fiona Sweeney, a 36-year-old librarian, from New York to Garissa, Kenya, on her sincere but na ve quest to make a difference in the world. Fi enlists to run the titular mobile library overseen by Mr. Abasi, and in her travels through the bush, the small village of Mididima becomes her favorite stop. There, Matani, the village teacher; Kanika, an independent, vivacious young woman; and Kanika's grandmother Neema are the most avid proponents of the library and the knowledge it brings to the community. Not everyone shares such esteem for the project, however. Taban, known as Scar Boy; Jwahir, Matani's wife; and most of the town elders think these books threaten the tradition and security of Mididima. When two books go missing, tensions arise between those who welcome all that the books represent and those who prefer the time-honored oral traditions of the tribe. Kanika, Taban and Matani become more vibrant than Fi, who never outgrows the cookie-cutter mold of a woman needing excitement and fulfillment, but Hamilton weaves memorable characters and elemental emotions in artful prose with the lofty theme of Western-imposed "education" versus a village's perceived perils of exposure to the developed world.
Customer Reviews
Great book…. SPOILER ALERT
First off, I’m a total Delena girl, but also like poly triad is acceptable.
The Return Trilogy has been my favorite so far. I’ve loved the Dark Dimension and the Kitsune plot. Great stuff. Creative and very emotional.
Lastly, the ending is a simply heartbreaking sacrifice from a tritagonist. He was the most selfish of the main characters and he had great character development and they were building up his potential love story with the antagonist. It was *chefs kiss*
The main characters present at Damon’s death are all telepathic and were trying to share his pain/hold on to him and ended up just feeling him die. It took like a whole chapter of him fading and the other characters hearts just breaking into pieces because they were wrong about him and he saved them and they all love him in some way.
Very tragic, very poetic, very cathartic. 10/10 would recommend
Very good book!
