Synopsis
"Forna is a born storyteller. . . . Not since Remains of the Day has an author so skillfully revealed the way history's layers are often invisible to all but its participants. . . . Gorgeous."--John Freeman, The Boston Globe "Haunting . . . Detail builds upon detail until the dread and violence that have been barely restrained burst into the open."--Anthony Domestico, San Francisco Chronicle An NPR, Boston Globe , and San Francisco Chronicle best book of the year, The Hired Man --now available in paperback--is an incisive, powerful novel of a small Croatian town and its dark wartime secrets, unwittingly brought into the light by a family of outsiders. Duro Kolak, a stoic lifelong resident of the Croatian village of Gost, is off on a morning's hunt when he discovers that a British family has taken up residence in a house Duro knows well. He offers his assistance getting their water working again, and soon he is at the house every day, helping get it ready as their summer cottage, and serving as their trusted confidant. But the other residents of Gost are not as pleased to have the interlopers, and as the friendship deepens, the volatile truths about the town's past and the house's former occupants whisper ever louder. A masterpiece of storytelling haunted by lost love and a restrained menace, The Hired Man confirms Aminatta Forna as one of our most important writers. "Forna modulates the growing suspense with exquisite skill. . . . Beautiful, reminiscent in its mesmerizing clarity of William Trevor's fiction or Per Petterson's."--Anna Mundow, The Christian Science Monitor "Absorbing . . . Forna's unwavering gaze compels a close look at the complexities of our shared histories."--Ellah Allfrey, NPR (online)

- r***c (1646)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseUnfortunately for both of us the item was lost in transit. But seller provided excellent service and was very responsive. Issued a full refund right away when I brought the issue to his attention. The USPS is at fault here as they failed to track the item once in their possession. NOT THE SELLER'S FAULT. Seller was A+ throughout the transaction and had great prices. I highly recommend.The Dahlgren Affair: Terror and Conspiracy in the Civil War (#326483517868)
- a***1 (904)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFast shipping, item as described, however the packaging was not suitable for mailing a CD. It was luck that the CD was not damaged in transit. There was nothing to protect the CD from being crushed or bent in the mail, all it had was a thin plastic bag. I was considering giving the seller a neutral rating for the way he packed the item, but decided not to, because I didn't wanted to lower the seller's rating , and other than the packaging I have no other complaints with this order.
- o***i (7)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipping was quick however the listing stated the book was "brand new" what I received the cover had scuff marks and scratches, and the poster was already removed. Communication was great and received a full refund. The book is still in fair enough condition, just wished it was represented a bit more accurately.
