G. Vassanji comes the story of Kamal Punja, son of an African mother and an Indian father, who has been living in Canada for forty years. Despite his material wealth, Kamal finds himself longing for the place of his birth-Africa-and of a girl there he once loved. As a child he was certain that Saida-granddaughter of a great Swahili poet and his constant companion-would become his future wife, but when he was just eleven Kamals mother sent him to live with his estranged fathers family in India. Now, decades later, Kamal journeys back to the village he left-to confront his long-unresolved racial identity and the nightmarish legacy of a broken promise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738774339872,"sku":"NEW0345802616","price":19.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81Hc0blO08L.jpg?v=1779612283","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-magic-of-saida-vintage-contemporaries-0345802616","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
