A review by margyly
The Shadow of the Sun by Ryszard Kapuściński

5.0

This book is on the list recommended for Meg to read before her trip to Ghana. It’s a collection of travel essays about Africa, starting with the author’s arrival as Poland’s first on-the-ground journalist in Africa and ending 40 years later. It’s a bit of a miscellany, as he jumps from country to country, but it’s a fascinating introduction to life and politics in post-colonial Africa.
