Hiding in Plain Sight

Hiding in Plain Sight Synopsis

From 'the most important African novelist to emerge in the past twenty-five years' (New York Review of Books) comes a novel set in Somalia and Kenya about family, freedom and loyalty

When Bella, an internationally known fashion  photographer, dazzling and aloof, is forced to return to Nairobi to care for her teenage niece and nephew,  she feels an unfamiliar surge of protectiveness and  responsibility. But when their mother unexpectedly  resurfaces, reasserting her maternal rights and  bringing with her a gale of chaos and confusion that  mirrors the deepening political instability in the region, Bella must decide whether she can -  or must - come to their rescue.
