Sinossi
"My Driver is an entertaining, droll novel, executed with a lovely, light touch. . . . Gee’s control of tone is supremely artful."—Lionel Shriver, Daily Telegraph
"A tour de force—brilliantly structured, surprising, humane, and suspenseful."—Elaine Showalter
"Worldly, witty, enjoyable, impressive."—Doris Lessing
Vanessa Henman, a plucky but accident-prone white writer, flies from London to Uganda for a Pan-African writers’ conference. She also intends to pay her former cleaner, Mary Tendo, a surprise visit. But Mary—now the executive housekeeper of the Sheraton Hotel in Kampala—has her own agenda, and she has secretly summoned Vanessa’s beloved ex-husband Trevor, a plumber, to her home village to help build a well.
The conference over, Vanessa sets off alone on a safari to the distant Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to see the mountain gorillas. Farce teeters on the edge of something much darker when Vanessa quarrels with her driver and a bloody war closes in on Bwindi from Congo. Can anyone save her?
