I have added a plot summary for this novel with source information. Ivankinsman 12:21, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Having re-read this amazing novel for about the fifth or sixth time it is so good, I have re-written the plot summary to provide more detail of its characters and the events that take place.Ivankinsman 13:05, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Real Brazzaville Beach

[edit]

The "beach" in Brazzaville is a real place. It's where the ferries leave leave to cross the Congo River over to Kinshasa. It's obviously quite different to the place that is portrayed in the novel. Presumably William Boyd knew this; I wonder why he chose it as the name for his novel? Kahuzi (talk) 08:29, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
