Forna, a journalist and novelist, born in Sierra Leone of a Scottish mother and a Sierra Leoenean father, tells her story, the story of her father's rise to the upper echelons of Sierra Leoenean politics during the late 1960s and early 1970s after a coup that ousted the first government of post-independence Sierra Leone, and the story of Sierra Leone during this crucial period.
I recommend this book for anyone who wants a personal story of Sierra Leone. It gives good context to the country's troubled history post-independence. Yet Forna leaves us with hope.
