A review by karinlib
North to Paradise by Ousman Umar
3.0
This is Ousman Umar's memoir. Umar was curious from an early age about the world outside of his small village in Ghana. After only two years of schooling he has to stop and become an apprentice. Not only does he learn about becoming a mechanic, but how to navigate the world on his own.
At the tender age of twelve he starts a 5 year journey that will eventually end in Europe.
Although I have read about these journeys from Africa to Europe before, I am glad I read it. I am also glad that the author provided a map to show his travels.
