I’m pretty much obligated to add this one to the top of this list of books about Africa because it is the first book Tasha and I read on here. Our first year in college, our University bought thousands of the book, hosted the author, and gave everyone a free copy. The book follows the story of Ishmael Beah as he is taken up in Sierra Leonne as a ch...
Half of a Yellow Sun is by Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and takes place during the Nigerian Civil War in the 1960s. The story follows several characters as Nigeria fights to become an independent republic. The best way of describing the story is real. It is honest and takes the reader through hope, disappointment, love, and heartbreak. ...

When Ne...
In this book about Africa, author Abraham Verghese is not your typical African, nor are his characters in his first novel Cutting For Stone. His story follows twin brothers who are born and orphaned in Ethiopia by their Indian and British Parents. It is a coming of age story about betrayal, love, grief, and forgiveness. The story touches on so many...
Another one of the great books about Africa is Left to Tell. I am not religious, but that should stand as a testament to how incredible Immaculée Ilibagiza’s story is. Her autobiography recounts her horrors as her home country of Rwanda is torn apart in 1994. The genocide that ensues consumes her family, friends, and those around her. Her strength ...
