| Summary, etc |
"Jeebleh is returning from New York to his native Mogadiscio for the first time in twenty years, over the strong objections of his American wife and daughters. He finds a decimated, divided city. The U.S. troops have recently come and gone, and Mogadiscio is ruled by ruthless warlords and their clan-based qaat-chewing, gun-crazy militias." "Jeebleh is returning to visit his mother's grave, "to pacify her troubled spirit" - but more urgent, the youngest member of his oldest friend's family has been abducted. The missing girl is known throughout Mogadiscio as a "miracle child" who has brought a unique peace to her section of the civil war-torn city. Jeebleh is determined to cut through the city's layers of corruption and chaos to rescue the girl - and, perhaps, a piece of his own identity. But he quickly learns that any act in this city, particularly an act of justice, is more complicated than he is prepared for."--BOOK JACKET. |
