Random House imprint Harvill Secker has bought The Cry of the Go-Away Bird, a début novel by Zimbabwean writer—and former bookseller—Andrea Eames.
The publisher acquired world English rights from Vivien Green at Sheil Land.
The novel is based on the author's experiences growing up in a white farming family in Zimbabwe in the late 1990s. It will be published in hardback in February 2011 and as a paperback by Vintage in 2012.
