Description

Despus del xito mundial de El abuelo que salt por la ventana y se larg, Jonas Jonasson vuelve a deleitarnos con una novela tan desenfadada como llena de sorpresas, una historia trepidante que arremete contra la hipocresa de la clase poltica al tiempo que ilumina la cara oculta de la historia oficial.

En esta ocasin, la improbable herona tiene su origen en el barrio de Soweto, el tristemente clebre gueto de Johannesburgo. Corren los aos setenta, en pleno auge del apartheid, cuando Nombeko Mayeki, condenada a una vida de infortunio y con altas probabilidades de que sta acabe a una edad temprana ante la indiferencia de sus semejantes, encuentra un resquicio para escapar de su aciago futuro.

Dotada de un intelecto fuera de serie, e impulsada por la fuerza de un destino que ejecuta las piruetas ms extraas, el azar propulsa a Nombeko lejos de su entorno de miseria y la encarrila en un asombroso viaje en el que se topar con personajes de toda ndole, desde un falso especialista en fsica nuclear y un par de agentes del Mossad con sed de venganza, hasta un rey de Suecia con rostro humano y una joven antisistema en permanente estado de ebullicin.

As, la genial Nombeko recorrer un inslito itinerario, repleto de emocionantes peripecias, hasta convertirse en una mujer clave para la supervivencia de la humanidad y, a la postre, descubrir su lugar en el mundo en las fras tierras escandinavas, un sitio con el que jams se habra atrevido a soar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A picaresque tale of how one person's actions can have far-reaching-even global-consequences, from the author of the bestselling novel The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared

In a tiny shack in the largest township in South Africa, Nombeko Mayeki is born. Poor and orphaned, she quickly learns that the world expects her to die young. But Nombeko has grander plans. Little does this cunning and fearless girl know that soon she will steal a fortune in diamonds, outwit a mad scientist kidnapper, travel across the world, fall in with a pair of diabolical assassins, and ultimately save a king--and possibly the world.

Jonas Jonasson tackles issues ranging from the pervasiveness of racism to the dangers of absolute power in a charming and hilarious story. In the inimitable voice that has earned him legions of fans the world over, he gives us another rollicking tale of how even the smallest of decisions can ripple out into the world.
