"It is predictable, there are no twists,
we know where this story is going. It is written from a particular
viewpoint, sympathetic to the protagonist’s circumstances. I would have
loved more complex narrative that allows the reader to ponder the
nature, consequences and implications of the culture clashes playing out
in much of today’s Black Africa. It is also about the politics of
advocacy and literature. Would this story have made the shortlist if it
was written by someone with the opposite view point?"
