You learn about the treatment of albinos in Tanzania...and it‘s not good. In many countries in Africa (mainly in rural areas), persons with albinism are discriminated against and at risk of being attacked. Pictured is African albino model Diandra Forrest, who luckily grew up in America. This story is about Aliya, an albino, who travels to an albino camp to help others like her...and her father, Jalil, who tries to save her. Dark and graphic.

Absolutely awful, but it did fulfill #PassportLitsy #Tanzania. The social issue - the murder and mutilation of albino Africans - was disturbing, but it was the terrible writing and audiobook narration that made this unbearable.

Dulcinella So I added it in case I don‘t find Tanzania:-) 7y
