From acclaimed short fiction writer Nisi Shawl comes a brilliant alternate history set in the Congo, where heroes strive for a Utopia & endeavor to live together despite their differences. 

Now with a foreward from award-winning author Cadwell Turnbull

In this re-imagining of Belgium's disastrous colonization of the Congo, African American missionaries join forces with British socialists to purchase land from the Congo Free State's "owner," King Leopold II. This land, which they name Everfair, is set aside as a safe haven for native populations of the Congo as well as settlers from around the world, including dream-eyed Europeans attempting to create a better society, formerly enslaved people returning from America, & Chinese railroad builders escaping hard labor. Using the combined knowledge of four continents, Everfair becomes a land of spying cats & gulls, nuclear dirigibles buoyed by barkcloth balloons, & silent pistols that shoot poison knives. 

With this technology, Everfair will attempt to defeat the Belgian tyrant Leopold II. But even if they can defeat their great enemy, a looming world war & political infighting may threaten to destroy everything they have built. 

“A book with gorgeous sweep, spanning years & continents, loves & hates, histories & fantasies... Everfair is sometimes sad, often luminous, & always original. A wonderful achievement.” — Karen Joy Fowler
