About this listen

Dive into the heart of a war-torn land where beauty and brutality collide in Sketches from the Periphery, a stunning debut novel and international best-seller by MP Summers. Set against the volatile backdrop of Darfur in 2005, this gripping tale follows Alexander Barr, a young American contractor thrust into the chaos of the African Union Peacekeeping Mission. At just twenty-two, Alex trades college textbooks for the unforgiving desert, where every step reveals a world of resilience, violence, and haunting mystery.

From the dusty streets of El Fasher to the shadowed ridges of the Wana Hills, Summers paints a vivid portrait of a region pulsing with life and conflict. Meet Tariq, a battle-scarred rebel with secrets etched into his soul; Henri, a ruthlessly efficient contractor, and Cassandra, a fearless journalist whose pursuit of truth might cost her everything. Together, they navigate a landscape where ancient mountains loom over blood-soaked sands, and hope flickers amid despair.
