Definition Of A Miracle

Farida is a software engineer by profession and suffers with cerebral palsy, a childhood neurological condition  that affects movement, posture and coordination.
The writer invites you into the home of Zaara, an 8 years old girl suffering with cerebral palsy in a country where the condition is misunderstood. She shares her daily experience after the family relocated from the UK and the quest to heal her disability via spiritual means.  Its easy to read, has lots of humor and it brings back memories of a typical day in a family from sibling rivalry, to unwelcome relatives, to parents pickering and community scandals.
I could read a few chapters over and over again on a gloomy day and it'll surely bring back laughter. Highly Recommended.

The spider king's daughter

Chibundu has done a fantastic job of walking the reader through the thoughts of the two key characters, taking a clever approach. It is creative and engaging and each chapter leaves you wanting more. Could have a better ending but for a debut novel from one so young, she has done a great job of it and Chibundu is one to look out for. An enjoyable read.

Tales from Different Tails

'Tales from different tales' by Nana Awere Damoah is now an endorsed 'must read' recommendation by myself. The book is a collection of 8  short stories set in different parts of Ghana. He covers stories starting with life on a University campus to students parting ways, a national service chapter, Kojo seeking greener pastures in the city and a hilarious public transport journey amongst others. The order of the stories is almost replicable of a typical students journey after university. For someone who never experienced life beyond secondary school in Ghana, the book certainly got me wishing I could experience that environment.  The stories are memorable, humorous and thought provoking with lessons to be learnt.  Nana Damoah’s descriptive choice of words and creation of vivid scenery takes you into the lives of the characters making it even more captivating.  The book overall is an easy read and will certainly lighten up your day from start to finish.  Check out Nana
