Itty Bitty Book Review: "Say You Are One of Them"

"Say You Are One of Them" by Uwem Akpan



This is our bookclub reading for July and while I was a little hesitant with the prospect of reading stories that are pretty harsh I enjoyed the selection immensely. The horrors and good things of Africa are portrayed with a direct honesty, openness, and lack of sentimentality. I look forward to our discussion Wednesday.
