REDEMPTION IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY – or so Pilgrim Jones hopes as she looks up at a departures board and takes the first flight.
She is running away; from her failed marriage and from the carnage she has caused in a small Swiss village.
Pilgrim alights on the edge of Africa. Over confessions and strong gin, she is lured into a world of mercenaries and philanthropists, delusional heroes and witchdoctors in polyester suits. Here, in a land where fireflies light the sky, anything – even redemption – seems possible.
But can she come to terms with her past before the past catches up with her?
