I bought this book as a surprise gift for our annual BC in DC Holiday party book exchange. This year our party is at the home of authorauthor in Alexandria, Virginia.

This book is being released at the house of authorauthor at the annual BC in DC Holiday party. It's part of our annual surprise book exchange.

Picked up this book from the annual BCinDC holiday party as one of the "best first lines" submissions. As this looks interesting, I'll be putting this one on my reading list for the near future.

This book is excellent and needs no review except to say that it was simply unforgettable.

This book is being released during the meeting of the Audubon BookCrossers on the cafe tables at the restaurant. This book was left there on purpose for you to find. Read and enjoy!

from the abxc meetup today. Thought I needed Nigeria for the 666 challenge, but I don't. So being added to the regular TBR stash.

Starting this one for the SIY and country hopping release challenges.

from the 8/11 abxc meetup; historical fiction about the Nigerian-Biafra war, from the side of the losers. The book follows 5 protagonists: twins Olanna & Kainene, Olanna's black revolutionary lover Odenigbo, Kainene's white British lover, Richard, and Odenigbo's houseboy Ugwa. Set in the early 1960's leading up to the conflict, and the late 1960's during the conflict, the story has triumphs, strengths and despair. Ugwa is conscripted as a soldier and is forced with peer pressure, to do unthinkable things. Olanna and Odenigbo wind up in a refugee camp. And Kainene winds up trying to run a refugee camp and trading with the black market to keep people from starving, only to be unexplainably lost at the end of the war. And Richard is a white man in a black country, who doesn't really fit. Odenigbo's return to the university after the war stirs some thoughts. What should the position of a revolutionary who was on the losing side be after the war?
