Depressing and troubling but mesmerizing

[Enrico]

The story, as I understand it, was written at a time when Nigeria had launched a concerted effort to expel every Ghanaian from their country. On a personal level, this is a raw and compelling narrative of one family's dirty laundry being hung out on a line. I enjoyed it on a literary level but found it utterly nauseating towards the end.

Ghana Must Go: I actually loved that book. Somber? yes! Depressing? maybe. Nauseating? well, the situation(s) might be but the writing is not.
I found this book extremely well written, the story line very well constructed, the characters very well defined and true to themselves all the way through.

I loved this book. The writing was lyrical. The family's story was well told. The emotions and motivations of the characters were clearly presented and very believable. Some yucky, nauseating situations, but those did not detract from the book.. There's bad stuff happening to people in real life too. I don't really like to read about it, but I didn't feel inclusion of these situations was gratuitous at all. I recommend this book highly and suggest listening to the audiobook.
