Synopsis of Onitsha

En marzo de 1948, Fintan Allen, un niño de doce años, y su madre italiana, Maou, viajan en barco desde Francia a Onitsha, a orillas del río Níger. Allí les espera Geoffroy Allen, el padre de Fintan, un inglés que trabaja para la compañía UnitedAfrica y que busca las huellas de Meroe, el último reino del Nilo. Maou espera un nuevo comienzo, pero Fintan desconfía de su padre y del continente africano. Geoffroy, fascinado por la historia y las creencias de los pueblos africanos, ha cambiado. Maou y Fintan descubren un mundo nuevo y personajes singulares, pero no se sienten a gusto entre los blancos de la colonia, lo que les causa problemas. Veinte años después, Fintan, ahora profesor en Bristol, comprende que su experiencia en África lo marcó para siempre. Esta novela explora temas de identidad, colonialismo y la búsqueda de raíces en un entorno exótico y desafiante.
