We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo

4.0

4.5 stars. A childhood in a disrupted African town with a gaggle of friends who are street savy to a US urban existence with an aunt who has become americanized, what a contrast.
This is a unique book. The style of writing is fresh, relevant, saucy, and the result is that this book hits you with a whallop, perhaps even makes you look at things with a new perspective. That's what a good book can do.
