Malipolitan

Besotted with his Washington diplomat girlfriend, Quinn, Canadian Paul, a directionless humanitarian doctor, accompanies her when she is posted to Bamako, capital of the war-torn, conflict-strewn West African country of Mali. As their relationship falters and volatility rises, Paul becomes increasingly drawn into the intricate, illusory complexities of Malian culture, custom, and post-colonialism. Author Christopher Dainton effortlessly transports the reader into West Africa’s incendiary geopolitical landscape in MALIPOLITAN, his highly charged and darkly mesmerizing tale of desperation, delusion, and ambition driven by the emotionally introspective Paul. Written with sharp sophistication and vivid insight, MALIPOLITAN is a fascinatingly good read.
