Resumen del Editor

A startlingly imaginative exploration of the African diaspora in Europe, by one of our most acclaimed international writers.

A Nigerian graduate student who has made his home in America knows what it means to strike out for new shores. When his wife proposes that he accompany her to Berlin, where she has been awarded a prestigious arts fellowship, he has his reservations: "I knew every departure is a death, every return a rebirth. Most changes happen unplanned, and they always leave a scar."

In Berlin, Habila's central character finds himself thrown into contact with a community of African immigrants and refugees whose lives previously seemed distant from his own, but to which he is increasingly drawn. The walls between his privileged, secure existence and the stories of these other Africans on the move soon crumble, and his sense of identity begins to dissolve as he finds that he can no longer separate himself from others' horrors, or from Africa.

A lean, expansive, heart-rending exploration of loss and of connection, Travelers inscribes unforgettable signposts - both unsettling and luminous - marking the universal journey in pursuit of love and home.

I really want to love this book

I work with African refugees/asylum seekers/immigrants to the US and I wanted to know more about similar experiences in Europe. Unfortunately, it was really hard to follow as an audio book. The reader tried very hard with different accents, but many didn't work well and it was hard to know which character was speaking. This book might be better read than listened to. I liked the premise and the parts I could follow, but there were lots of parts that were confusing due to the reading.

Awesome

Beautifully expresses the movement of our lives and inner being . We move from place to place physically and our emotions must travel over these unfamiliar terrains and find new meaning or pause or give up and travel back or forward to another. I loved it. The narration was moving as it gave voice to the chaos, hunger and ever search for a settling down from our journeys.

Difficult to Follow on Audible

The stories are interwoven and well done, but it is not always easy to follow each one on the Audible platform. Glad I tried it however. Thanks
