River spirit : a novel / Leila Aboulela.
"This enchanting and eye-opening new novel from Caine Prize winner Leila Aboulela follows an embattled young woman coming of age during the Mahdist War in nineteenth-century Sudan, and illuminates the tensions that shape her course: between Britain and Sudan, Christianity and Islam, colonizer and colonized. In River Spirit, Aboulela gives us the unforgettable story of a people who -- against the odds and for a brief time -- gained independence from foreign rule through their willpower, subterfuge, and sacrifice."--Dust jacket flap.
