Great African Reads discussion

Given my existing commitments which seems to be all over the continent, I'm going to try and string at least 5 countries together.

Cameroon: Your Madness, Not Mine: Stories of Cameroon Completed 16 January 4 stars
Nigeria Easy Motion Tourist Completed 21 March 2019 4 stars
Benin Thread of Gold Beads Completed 14 August 4 stars
Togo An African in Greenland
Ghana Wife of the Gods Completed 10 December 4 stars
Burkina Faso Probably Outlaw

Depending on how the year unfolds I could then continue stringing along countries especially since I need to get to Guinea

First country traversed. I've completed our group short story read Your Madness, Not Mine: Stories of Cameroon. Here's the review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Completed Easy Motion Tourist for Nigeria.

If you enjoy very British police procedurals where the detectives wear suits and everything is done according to the law, this is not the book for you. However, if you enjoy a trip to Lagos and want to experience the risks and dreams that this city offers, this is a real pleasure. Introducing an English journalist into the plot allows Leye to introduce readers to the intricacies of Lagos life through the thoughts and experiences of an outsider. Complex plot and a vast cast of characters, I enjoyed this very much and look forward to the next in the series.

Wonderful review Caroline. Going to add to my reading list! Well done on crossing that off!

One more country done (and for a country as small as Benin, this took ages!)

Thread of Gold Beads

Not sure I'm going to manage to get to Togo, but Ghana done. Really enjoyed Wife of the Gods which is a mystery set in rural Ghana with an interesting plot and nice characters.
