I wouldn't normally pick up a book about basketball and refugees, because one doesn't interest me and the other tends to be too sad and horrific. But the library automatically reserves certain bestsellers for me, so I read it. And I'm very glad I did.
It is fiction, but the main characters were so well drawn that I wondered whether there was a real person behind Samuel. The tragedies and life of refugees were unfortunately based on real events, but not dwelt upon (unlike some others), so they also felt real but not like watching Hotel Rwanda. If you read this, you'll come away with a new understanding of African refugees, and possibly a new understanding of basketball.
