| Description: |
Nash, returning to Africa in the 1830's is a Christian-educated adult, a missionary to the new territory of Liberia, slowly becomes a part of the world his masters intended him to convert... Martha, her own daughter and husband sold away from her, settles in the American wild west of the late nineteenth century, freeing herself from slavery. |
| Synopsis: |
Caryl Phillips' ambitious and powerful novel spans two hundred and fifty years of the African diaspora. It tracks two brothers and a sister on their separate journeys through different epochs and continents: one as a missionary to Liberia in the 1830s, one a pioneer on a wagon trail to the American West later that century, and one a GI posted to a Yorkshire village in the Second World War.Crossing the River won the James Tait Black Memorial Award in 1994, and was shortlisted for the 1993 Booker Prize. |
