This will appeal to fans of intricate historical fiction. Set in Mozambique in the late 1890s, it's the story of a small band of people more or less stuck in the middle during the war between the Gaza Empire and Portugal. I found myself a bit overwhelmed as I am not familiar with the history of the region. That said, I learned something. The characters are intriguing, the atmospherics good, and the translation smooth. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC.
