The Second Life of Samuel Tyne by Esi Edugyan
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF reader, 1.2 Mb
Overview: Samuel Tyne was a promising student who emigrated from West Africa to England and ended up as a bureaucrat in Canada. Married to a fellow West African emigre, father of twin adolescent daughters, Tyne longs to break out of the inertia of his life. He leaps at the chance for escape presented by an inheritance from his uncle Jacob, who had accompanied Samuel from Africa to America, then lived a reclusive life in the small town of Aster, a town founded by American blacks escaping slavery and racism in the U.S. Reinventing himself as an electronics-shop owner and tinkerer with computing machines, Samuel expects to find personal liberation and a second chance at life. Instead, the crumbling mansion and small town compound the sullenness of his wife and daughters. The girls’ summer companion, Ama, is the first to note the troubling changes in the twins, long used to creating their own world. Edugyan’s beautifully rendered first novel offers a haunting look at personal longing and family obligations.
