Terra sonâmbula
by Mia Couto
In the middle of war-torn Mozambique, the boy Muidinga and his reluctant protector, the old man Tuahir, travel here and there, fleeing the slaughter caused by the guerillas who have destroyed their family, friends, and livelihood. They are supposed to be looking for Muidinga's parents, but their only real purpose is to stay alive, a task that does not always seem possible. Then Muidinga finds some notebooks in a suitcase by the side of a dead body: the diary of Kindzu, another boy victimized by war. In a world of total violence and absolute necessity, Muidinga and Kindzu discover the power of storytelling.
