Analysis Of The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears, by Dinaw Mengestu


 


The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears, by Dinaw Mengestu


The story is about an Ethiopian immigrant, Sepha Stephanos, who fled to America when he was a teenager during the Red Terror and has been living in and around Washington, DC, for seventeen years much of which he has spent as a resident and store owner in Logan Circle, a neighborhood that is characterized as only poor black people live. His life is only his store and his two fellow African friends Ken from Kenya and Joe from Congo who share this bitter nostalgia and longing for his home continent. As his neighborhood begins to change, hope comes in the form of a friendship with a new neighbors Judith and her Noami, a white woman and her biracial daughter which later on feel in love with the mother and got fond of the eleven years daughter. But when a series of racial incidents disturbs the neighborhood, Sepha loses both the woman he loved and the girl that he was fond of. Thus, the story revolves around Sepha’s store, his friends, Judith and Noami, his nostalgia about this past life in Ethiopia as well as his loneliness in America.
