South Sudan

Edo’s Souls
by Stella Gaitano

Born into a South Sudanese family in Khartoum in 1979, Stella Gaitano moved to Juba after Sudan was partitioned in 2012. This vibrant multi-generational story, which won an English PEN Translates award, has at its heart a remarkable mother, Edo, whose stamina and wisdom become a powerful presence in the life of her daughter.
