Call #: FICTION BEA Subjects Teachers -- Fiction.   Water-supply -- Fiction.   Village communities -- Fiction.   Sierra Leone -- History -- Civil War, 1991- -- Fiction.   Sierra Leone -- Social conditions -- 1961- -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780670067787 Edition:  1st ed. Description:  242 p. ; 24 cm. Summary:  Benjamin and Bockarie are two longtime friends who return to their hometown after the civil war. The village is in ruins, the ground covered in bones. As more villagers begin to file back, Benjamin and Bockarie try to forge a new community by taking up their former posts as teachers, but they're beset by obstacles: a scarcity of food; a rash of murders, thievery, rape, and retaliation; and the depredations of a foreign mining company intent on sullying the town's water supply and blocking its paths with electric wires. As Benjamin and Bockarie search for a way to restore order, they're forced to reckon with the pain of their past and the uncertainty of their future. With the gentle lyricism of a dream and the moral clarity of a fable, 'Radiance of Tomorrow' is a powerful novel about preserving what means the most to us, even in uncertain times.
