17 essays written between 2010 and 2020 from the brilliant novelist, Aminatta Forna. The Scottish and Sierra Leonean writer has lived and traveled all over the world. A human repository of a rich and unique blend of experiential, journalistic, and academic knowledge, Forna‘s wordsmith game is superb.
3.5⭐️s for content, 5 ⭐️s for writing only because some essays were too erudite for me or were too heavy on encyclopedic detail and stats.
