Sample Book Insights:

#1 My mother and father were from a country that had disappeared. The murder of our country was a crime they would never forgive because they had been partly responsible for its invention.

#2 I was born in Jamaica in 1967, just after the war was declared on Biafra. I didn’t remember the war or leaving Biafra, but I did remember the first time I heard the word Biafra.
