Last Orders at Harrods

‘Charity Mupanga is an African heroine in the spirit of Alexander McCall Smith’s Precious Ramotswe – big-hearted, township-wise and self-reliant’ Peter Godwin, author of MUKIWA: A WHITE BOY IN AFRICA
Charity Mupanga, proprietor of Harrods International Bar (and Nightspot), the most popular hangout in the shantytown of Kireba, can handle most of life’s challenges, but threatening letters from powerful London lawyers are starting to overwhelm her. How dare a London store, no matter how famous, claim exclusive use of the first name of her late father, Harrods Tangwenya?
Tough street-urchins and well-meaning aid workers, a corrupt dictator and riots sparked by a World Bank visit all have their part to play as Charity fights to save her business – and her father’s legacy – in this devastatingly funny, brilliantly observed, and acute look at life in contemporary Africa.
‘This wickedly satirical novel is also a serious critique of Africa’s troubled state’ GUARDIAN
