Krátky popis
Rebecca meets The Island of Missing Trees in this gorgeously
atmospheric novel set on South Africa's eastern coast. Endlessly
playful and richly imaginative, Shubnum Khan's vibrant debut delves
into the transformative powers of love and grief as it explores the
legacy of South Africa's complicated past. Sana and Meena will
never meet. They share little beyond Akbar Manzil, the sprawling
mansion high on a clifftop above Durban that they both call home.
When Meena fell in love with the owner of the house it was the
grandest residence on South Africa's eastern coast, its shining
marble parapets and golden domes a testament to the wealthy Indian
family's prosperity. Eight decades later when teenage Sana follows
in her footsteps, Akbar Manzil stands in ruins, an isolated
boarding house for eccentrics and misfits. This is a place where
people come to forget. Or to be forgotten. But unlike her
neighbours Sana is curious about her new home, and finds herself
irresistibly drawn to its deserted east wing. As she moves closer
to unearthing Meena's story, a grieving djinn begins to stir from
its long sleep.&,nbsp, The Djinn Waits a Hundred Years is a
haunting, a love story, a mystery and an unforgettable tale of a
young girl's search for belonging.&,nbsp, 'Filled with
wonder&,nbsp,and colour, the secrets of the dilapidated mansion
Akbar Manzil come to life in this rich tale of loss and love... I
was enthralled and completely swept away.' - Yangsze Choo, author
of The Night Tiger&,nbsp,
