Books by M.G. Vassanji

'Belonging in a category with Tolstoy's War and Peace, Vassanji's saga is sweeping in scope . . . brilliant'- Janette Turner Hospital in The Globe and Mail

When Pius Fernandes, a retired schoolteacher living in modern day Dar es Salaam, discovers a diary of a British colonial administrator from 1913, he is drawn into a provocative account of the Asian community of East Africa, and the liaisons, feelings and secrets of its people, over the course of a century.
