A better person would have liked this book more than I did. Written by a Nigerian Jesuit priest, the five stories describe African life from the viewpoint of African children. It was an Oprah's Book Club selection and the stories are well-written and engaging. However, I'm afraid the subject matter is a little too grim for me, so I feel shallow for not enjoying the book more.
My rating: ** (out of 5)
