The Devil That Danced on the Water: A Daughter's Quest by Aminatta Forna

5.0

One of the most powerful books I've ever read. Carefully journalistically researched, but also personally compelling and powerfully written. I knew almost nothing about the history of Sierra Leone and had never heard of Mohamed Forna, and when I went to look him up after finishing this book, I discovered that he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page. Everyone should read this and be educated by it.
