Description
From the bestselling, prize-winning author of A Case of Exploding Mangoes, comes a powerful new novel about war, family and the things love makes us do An American pilot crash lands in the desert unprepared for any emergency that can't be solved with the Air Force's emergency supply of After Eight Mints. Hallucinating palm trees and worrying about dehydrating to death isn't what Major Ellie expected from this mission. Still, it's an improvement on the constant squabbles with his wife back home. In a neighbouring refugee camp, Momo has his own problems. His brother left for his first day at work and never returned, his parents are at each other's throats, his dog has a real attitude, and an aid worker has shown up wanting to research him for her book on the Teenage Muslim Mind. Written with his trademark wit, keen eye for absurdity and telling important truths about the world today, Red Birds is master storyteller Mohammed Hanif at the height of his powers.
