The captivating debut of a young woman who finds her way between two worlds. 'Lisolo' means 'to tell stories' in Lingala, one of the national languages of the Congo. And Nadège Kusanika has many stories to tell: of her childhood in the Congo, of sweet potato leaves and mango with pili pili, of impenetrable fog and endless starry skies, of plastic sandals on eternally dusty earth. But also stories of hunger and poverty, of arriving in a foreign land and growing into German society. 'Under the Same Sun' is a novel that, with gentleness and humor, poses poignant questions about home and identity in the everyday experience of being a stranger. An impressive novel about family, growing up, and the search for oneself in our global world. 'What a magnificent debut! A tender, wild, sad, funny journey to a land both near and far—a true heroine's journey!' Doris Dörrie 'Catchy, simply beautiful prose that speaks to the essence of things.'
