Loukoum
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
It's an interesting book and very well written. At times, it's as if the main character (a 10 year old boy) is trying to retell his life as a ten year old, when he's years older. Political, religious, sexual, and family issues are provoked, and Beyala writes masterfully.
