One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years
1904. On the banks of the Zambezi River, a few miles from the majestic Victoria Falls, there is a colonial settlement called The Old Drift. In a smoky room at the hotel across the river, an Old Drifter named Percy M. Clark, foggy with fever, makes a mistake that entangles the fates of an Italian hotelier and an African busboy. This sets off a cycle of unwitting retribution between three Zambian families (black, white, brown) as they collide and converge over the course of the century, into the present and beyond. As the generations pass, their lives—their triumphs, errors, losses and hopes—emerge through a panorama of history, fairytale, romance and science fiction.
From a woman covered with hair and another plagued with endless tears, to forbidden love affairs and fiery political ones, to homegrown technological marvels like Afronauts, microdrones and viral vaccines, this gripping, unforgettable novel is a testament to our yearning to create and cross borders, and a meditation on the slow, grand passage of time.
Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Ray Bradbury Prize • Longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize
“An intimate, brainy, gleaming epic . . . This is a dazzling book, as ambitious as any first novel published this decade.”—Dwight Garner, The New York Times
“A founding epic in the vein of Virgil’s Aeneid . . . though in its sprawling size, its flavor of picaresque comedy and its fusion of family lore with national politics it more resembles Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children.”—The Wall Street Journal
“A story that intertwines strangers into families, which we'll follow for a century, magic into everyday moments, and the story of a nation, Zambia.”—NPR

Only problem is it's so good now my wife uses it too
I had eczema on my hands that i treated with dr prescribed steroids. I tried dozens of different lotion after the steroid cream to keep the eczema from coming back with no luck. This is the only one that keeps my hands moisturized enough to keep it away. Only problem is it's so good now my wife uses it too.

NOT the Smoothing Repair cream, it’s Advanced Repair
NOT the Smoothing Repair Cream, outdated website description. Seller explained that Eucerine no longer makes the Smoothing Repair, it became the Advanced Repair cream. Shame on Eucerine I guess as the new formula is not as good as the old one. Beware when ordering.

Super lotion
This dermatologist recommended lotion is great for old skin. It helps with dryness and reduces crepe.
