Literature and Fiction
An illuminating debut following three women in
sub-Saharan Africa as they search for home and family Leona, an isolated American anthropologist, gives birth to a
baby girl in a remote Maasai village and must decide how she
can be a mother, in spite of her own grim childhood. Jane, a
lonely expat wife, follows her husband to the tropics and
learns just how fragile life is. Simi, a barren Maasai
woman, must confront her infertility in a society in which
females are valued by their reproductive roles. In this
affecting debut novel, these three very different women
grapple with motherhood, recalibrate their identities and
confront unforeseen tragedies and triumphs. In beautiful, evocative prose, Adrienne Benson brings to
life the striking Kenyan terrain as these women’s lives
intertwine in unexpected ways. As they face their own
challenges and heartbreaks, they find strength traversing
the arid landscapes of tenuous human connection. With
gripping poignancy, The Brightest Sun explores the
heartbreak of loss, the struggle to find a sense of
belonging and the surprising ways we find our family and home.
