A thriller based on a true story of courage, complicity and murder
Thank goodness, a historical political thriller that delivers! Simon Miller’s novel puts us vividly there and then, amid people who are acted on by History while having agency, and it is page turning to the point I had to make an effort to slow down. It offers individuals and places and times I feel fuller for having encountered. EBOLOWA is what readers hope for – at once an education and an entertainment.Andrew Greig
