For me the author's originality and ability to mix moments of sad reflection with a child's joy to be alive in the moment make this book special and also made me put an order in for Alain's back catalogue, relieved and thrilled to know that there's more where this came from.
If this appeals duty and a cherished place in my heart dictate that I also recommend any Adrian Mole book. If you're not yet acquainted with him [[The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾ by Sue Townsend|the beginning]] is a good place to start. If you would like to explore more African childhoods, [[Running the Rift by Naomi Benaron]] is also an excellent book although has a different feel about it. We also have a review of [[Memoirs of a Porcupine by Alain Mabanckou]].
