A country at war. A generation suspended between hope and disillusion. A story that unfolds at the close of the twentieth century along the dusty roads of Angola. From protests in Luanda to the years of the Cold War, from dreams of independence to the collapse of ideologies, The Long Red Road weaves together personal and collective destinies in a powerful, choral novel. Through the eyes of Diego, a young Angolan doctor returning from his studies in the Soviet Union, and Adelina, a girl from Luanda who experiences Africa's yearning for independence at first-hand, unfolds a journey that is at once intimate and political. It leads the reader on a path through exiles, revolutions, broken friendships and loves lived on the very edge of history.
