Brutality seen through children' eyes -FLORENCE SIPALLA

Another take on Uwem Akpa's collection of short stories. A sympathetic review.


This anthology is a compelling read, bringing to the fore the plight of children who are usually the victims of conflict and other injustices such as child trafficking. The stories are set in five countries: Kenya, Rwanda, Gabon, Ethiopia and the author's homeland, Nigeria. As we travel these countries through the narration, adults who put children at risk in times of conflict are indicted" - Florence Sipalla.
