  1. 4/5 Amanada

    Fina personporträtt och stark berättelse. En bra bok for unga vuxna (och alla däröverver). Jag läste orginalet på engelska, hade vart fint med en svensk översattning för gymnasieskolor. Skildrar slitningar, våld och konflikter men också glädjen inom en familj i Nigeria, ett land som vi gärna generaliserar över både geografiskt och fördomsmässigt. Rekommenderas varmt!
