內容簡介: |
''Nothing interests Maman today, not even Jean, her favorite
child ...She acts dumb, bewitched, like a goat that the
neighborhood children have fed sorghum beer.'' These extraordinary
stories centre on African conflicts as seen through the eyes of
children and describes their resilience and endurance in
heartbreaking detail. From child trafficking to inter-religious
conflicts, Uwem Akpan reveals in beautiful prose the resilience and
endurance of children faced with the harsh consequences of
deprivation and terror.
