No Past, No Present, No Future

In his bold and pioneering novel, No Past, No Present, No Future, Yulisa Amadu Maddy explores the dynamics between three young boys as their lives slip quickly into chaos and tragedy.

At a missionary school in colonial West Africa, three students from very different backgrounds forge a friendship in an effort to forget the difficulties they face at home. But when one of the boys betrays the other, a series of disastrous events spiral into out of control.

After finally leaving school, their paths cross once again in Europe but prejudice and diverging loyalties put the brotherhood they once had into question. How can they ever dream of a future together when the ghosts of the past are determined to haunt their present?
