Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

This is a brilliant book. I felt ashamed after reading it that I knew so little about Biafra. Even better than Purple Hibiscus, the characters are beautifully drawn in a great and moving story.

This book is gorgeously written. The main characters are so believable and intriguing. The book is hugely informative about Nigerian life without being preachy. I couldn't put the book down - I cared so much about the characters, I did not want it to end. Looking forward to reading more of this author's books.
