Celebrated Angolan musician Faustino Manso has just died, leaving seven wives and eighteen children scattered across southern Africa. His youngest daughter, Laurentina, arrives in Angola from her home in Portugal to trace the story of the father she never knew. My Father's Wives is the story of Laurentina's journey, but this fiction runs paralell with the story of the novel's genesis, as both the writer and his characters travel the southern African coast from Angola through Namibia, South Africa and Mozambique.
