I really enjoyed this—it's a quick audiobook (~3 hours), dual-narration, that follows the real-life story of Salva, one of the "Lost Boys of Sudan," and a fictionalized character, Nya, who lives in a remote village in South Sudan years later. I would recommend, especially if you know little (to nothing, like me) about the Second Sudanese Civil War.
