from Broadview Press
Price: $3.70

Customer Review:
Heart of Darkness is of course a great classic of Western literature and needs no summary or critique from me.
Nevertheless I could make some suggestions to readers coming to this work for the first time. It has many complexities and more than any other novel of Conrad's needs support by... more info

6.The House at Sugar Beach: In Search of a Lost African ChildhoodThe House at Sugar Beach: In Search of a Lost African Childhood
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $2.33

Customer Review:
Cooper writes well and there is a strong connection to family members. Although I agree that the history is necessary for the reader to get a feel of the deep roots that both sides of the family had/has in Liberia, it did get to be a bit long in parts. All in all, like many memoirs that express the... more info

Customer Review:
Immaculee Ilibagiza's story is a testimony to the power and importance of faith and to the ability to change the world through forgiveness and prayer. Her first book, Left to Tell, was at once awful and great. The story of man's inhumanity to man was almost too difficult to read - yet, it was... more info

Customer Review:
A woman who grew up in Africa recommended this book to me. I have never been to Africa.
