Ciao Asmara
Ciao Asmara by Justin Hill
Ciao Asmara is the story of Justin Hill’s two years in the African country of Eritrea, the people he met, and the country he discovered. He describes Eritrea’s rich history including the ancient reign of the Queen of Sheba, the Turkish and Italian occupations, the golden age of the 1950s when the capital Asmara was the most industrialized part of Africa, and the brutal Ethiopian occupation under King Haile Selassie. The Independent calls it a “deft, poignant” valediction and love letter to a country between storms, and the Sunday Times and Independent on Sunday praise Hill as a great and passionate storyteller.
