The Sudan Curse - Drama Highlights Sudan’s Plight via a Lost Boy’s Return

Jan. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- The Sudan Curse, by Australian author Martina Nicolls, is an electrifying action-packed drama. It brings Sudan’s hardships and a Lost Boy’s return to his country after 20 years in exile to vivid life through an exposé of idealism, inequality, conflict and despair. It is 2006, after the peace agreement between north and south Sudan, as the south, debilitated and devastated, emerges from civil war.

The Sudanese say that they can find out how a story ends, but they will never know where it really began. Follow professional aid worker, Jorja Himmermann, through her daily life living in a tent by the Nile River with her Sudanese colleague who believes he is cursed. Jorja doesn’t believe in curses. When she discovers a mysterious ancient Egyptian ring in her purse, she wonders whether she is too—as she travels into remote and isolated regions of Sudan and encounters banditry, disasters, disease and death.

Like a Shakespearean tragicomedy, it is also a political, historical and psychological portrait of humanitarian relief and reconstruction of fascinating proportions.

THE SUDAN CURSE is available in hardcover for $28.50 (ISBN: #978-1-60693-765-5) and softcover for $16.95 (ISBN# 978-1-60860-823-2) and can be ordered through the publisher’s website: http://www.strategicbookpublishing.com/TheSudanCurse.html
