This review is from: Devil That Danced on the Water (Hardcover)
This is a magnificently crafted work. Ms Forna eloquently blends the clash of two cultures and the process of transiting from youth to maturity. It is a story of greed overcoming good intentions and a daughter's search to find out why the man she loved, her father, was betrayed by those he thought to be his friends. It is a true story and one which anyone who wishes to look beyond his insular world would welcome in his library.

This review is from: Devil That Danced on the Water (Hardcover)
A wonderful memoir that captures the way our childhood can often define us and how childlike innocense can never be replaced. I found myself wishing I could protect the author from the hardship she endured. She sheds a brighter. clearer light on the politics of diamonds, tribal competition and how corruption has ravaged a country and its people in a way that will be felt for generations.

A wonderful story of a daughter writing her father's story -- just one of the many intertwined stories about post independence politics in a West African state.
