Forna is a born storyteller. . . . Not since Remains of the Day has an author so skillfully revealed the way historys layers are often invisible to all but its participants. . . . Gorgeous.John Freeman, The Boston Globe

Haunting . . . Detail builds upon detail until the dread and violence that have been barely restrained burst into the open.Anthony Domestico, San Francisco Chronicle

An NPR, Boston Globe, and San Francisco Chronicle best book of the year, The Hired Mannow available in paperbackis an incisive, powerful novel of a small Croatian town and its dark wartime secrets, unwittingly brought into the light by a family of outsiders. Duro Kolak, a stoic lifelong resident of the Croatian village of Gost, is off on a mornings hunt when he discovers that a British family has taken up residence in a house Duro knows well. He offers his assistance getting their water working again, and soon he is at the house every day, helping get it ready as their summer cottage, and serving as their trusted confidant. But the other residents of Gost are not as pleased to have the interlopers, and as the friendship deepens, the volatile truths about the towns past and the houses former occupants whisper ever louder. A masterpiece of storytelling haunted by lost love and a restrained menace, The Hired Man confirms Aminatta Forna as one of our most important writers.
