About this ebook
Revolution is a collection of eleven short stories that act as a vital bridge between the novels Exile and Liberty.
But it is also so much more than that. Ejersbo had a remarkable and unaffected talent for getting inside the heads of his characters: Moses, a worker in a Tanzanite mine who lives in hope of striking it rich; Sofie, a Greenlander who joins a French conman on his trip around the world; Rachel, who tries to make a life for herself in a city where everyone sees her as a whore in waiting.
You feel that Ejerbso could have written from the heart of every person living in Tanzania; and that you could go on reading them forever.
