Whistler

From Angola, a country riddled with civil war and it's aftereffects for the last 30 years, comes a surprising story of hope, passion, and magical realism from a groundbreaking, young African novelist. A young man arrives at the church of a small African village and starts whistling so beautifully that the priest is left in tears. As his weeklong stay continues, the whistler finds himself affected by the colorful inhabitants of the village as they all become bewitched and surrender to the moods of his melodies.Ondjaki is the author of 'Whistler', published 2008 under ISBN 9780955233975 and ISBN 0955233976.
