Women's Fiction Historical
For fans of Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns and Kristin Hannah's Firefly Lane, Under an African Sky is the story of the friendship of two women, one white, one Black, who navigate a new world where their personal lives are thrown into tumult while a nation's political upheaval tests their bonds. As apartheid begins to unravel, South Africa teeters between hope and unrest. The dreams each woman holds for their children are reshaped by forces beyond their control and their friendship is weighted to a breaking point. History is seldom kind to individuals, but sometimes, even as a country convulses with pain, the human spirit has a capacity to endure beyond understanding. "Catrakilis has written a compelling family drama that is also a timely story about race, immigration, and the pain of assimilating in a city halfway around the world while longing for home." - Julia Glass, National Book Award-winning author of Three Junes and Vigil Harbor.
