'A City Waking Up' by Sue Wallace-Shaddad
ISBN 978-1-913329-26-6 Paperback, 14.8 x 21cm, 44 pages RRP £8.00 Sue Wallace-Shaddad has been visiting Khartoum, Sudan since the 1970’s. The language, customs and slower rhythms of this city and country have been a constant refrain in her life. In 'A City Waking Up', she evokes memories of encounters, the sun’s heat, vibrant colours and the taste of local dishes. She shares day-to-day details of family life but also captures the tumult in the city as it struggles for political change.
Tamar Yoseloff comments on 'A City Waking Up':
Sue Wallace-Shaddad’s Sudan is a country of beauty, dust, jewel-bright colour, age-old tradition and bitter conflict. From a roadside fruit stall with ‘mangoes gold in the sun’, to a lavish wedding banquet where ‘oud and zither music fills the air’, to the painful 2019 uprising in Khartoum where protestors ‘gathered for weeks / in stifling heat’, Wallace-Shaddad guides us through the land with great generosity and love.' |
