Uwem’s debut is filled with soo much heart tearing detail of children fighting for survival. Uwem takes us through the streets of Kenya; then to Benin preparing young ones for a trip to Gabon. The most tear jerking moments focus on religious intolerance and the impact this has on the children of Ethiopia, Nigeria and Rwanda.This book was listed for the Guardian First Book Award and selected for Oprah’s Book Club.

Fattening for Gabon.... It’s taken me a very long time to read this second short story by Uwem Akpan, simply because it delved into child slavery/abduction and his writing truly painted tangible images in my head. I wonder what becomes of both kids?

Reading this book at such a snail pace because it just keeps punching the wind out of me, and breaking my heart into pieces.
