New York. 2007. August 2007. Grove Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780802118509. 442 pages. hardcover. Jacket photograph by Jim Craigmyle/Corbis. keywords: Literature England South Africa. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Once it seemed to Kathleen Healey that Africa was empty and all of it belonged to her. An aviator, big game hunter, and knitting devotee, who once boxed three rounds with Ernest Hemingway in a Kenyan gym, she would land her plane wherever and whenever she chose. She was free with her favors, too, and her multitude of lovers came from all over the world. In this moving and lyrical novel, Man Booker Prize finalist and Whitbread Award winner Christopher Hope has crafted a female character as electrifying, and as alarming, as Africa itself. Kathleen Healey is passionate, comic, and cruel by turns, and strides across the continent from Cape to Cairo in seven-league boots. When she dies, her only son, Alexander, returns to Johannesburg to carry out her final wishes. Her legacy, which he must deliver in person, includes a cache of firearms for a former apartheid enforcer, a wig that once belonged to a Liberian boy soldier, and her knitting needles, which he must present to Bamadodi, the Rain Queen. What he inherits is her house and her gardener who, like Alexander, is also an exile. But when he meets Cindy September and she moves into his home, Alexander must confront the final part of his mother's legacy-his capacity for love. Bitingly funny, outrageously inventive, and peopled with a fantastical cast of characters, MY MOTHER'S LOVERS shows how the hunger to be loved and to belong affects us all. Christopher Hope was born in Johannesburg in 1944. He is the author of many novels, including KRUGER'S ALP, winner of the Whitbread Award for Fiction, and SERENITY HOUSE, which was short-listed for the Man Booker Prize. He lives in France. inventory #30817.
