The Fury in the Fire

Sofia lives in a village in Mozambique and is expecting her third child. Her beloved Armando works in the city and comes home on Saturdays. Life is hard, but things become much worse when, one weekend, Armando does not return. With the new baby on her back, Sofia makes her way to town, but when she discovers what Armando is doing, the very foundation of her being is shaken. Her determination to keep her own life together propels Armando into acts of desperation. The Fury in the Fire is a powerful, compelling story of love, betrayal and the courage of a young woman who finds the strength to overcome poverty and disaster. It follows Henning Mankell’s two unforgettable novels about Sofia: Secrets in the Fire and Playing with Fire.
