'Sweeping and quietly devastating' New York Times 'A David and Goliath story for our times' O the Oprah Magazine Set in the fictional African village of Kosawa How Beautiful We Were tells the story of a people living in fear amidst environmental degradation wrought by an American oil company. Pipeline spills have rendered farmlands infertile. Children are dying from drinking toxic water. Promises of clean-up and financial reparations are made - and ignored. The country's government led by a brazen dictator exists to serve its own interest only. Left with few choices the people of Kosawa decide to fight back. But their fight will come at a steep price . . . one which generation after generation will have to pay. 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.
