"It was said that place was a sleepwalking land. For while men slept, it moved yonder across space and time." Mia Couto's debut novel, published in 1992 and in its excellent translation by David Brookshaw, is an exquisite and beautiful imagined portrait of a country and its people in turmoil of war and upheaval of early independence.

I loved the writing style, but the story became a bit too weird for me.
