Set in the fictional African village of Kosawa, the book tells the story of a people living in fear amidst environmental degradation wrought by an American oil company.
“Told through the perspective of a generation of children and the family of a girl named Thula, How Beautiful We Were is a masterful exploration of what happens when the reckless drive for profit, coupled with the ghost of colonialism, comes up against one community’s determination to hold onto its ancestral land and a young woman’s willingness to sacrifice everything for the sake of her people’s freedom,” reads the book’s blurb.
