Cannot believe I didn’t remember anything fr reading this book. Did I really read it?? It is the most gripping terrible novel I’ve read in years. It is a total mystery if I’ve read this book before and couldn’t remember everything. I am totally puzzled. And totally engrossed in this story…

It is so strange reading this book. I am supposed to have read it a long time ago but can’t remember anything! But reading makes me remember being in Freetown. Was a very special experience. First time travelling to a place with bedbugs, heat and not functioning toilets in a very long time. I remember the first night in the YMCA thinking ‘I am too old for this now’ 😂🧡🌟

I started reading this book again 15 years later. I don’t remember much but already now I am looking through photos of Freetown and trying to remember my visits to Sierra Leone. Looking forward to living in this book for a while. It’s hot. Dusty. Lizards that turn blue.

Wonder if I will ever travel to Africa again….
