Weekly African Book Review #4

Week 4: ‘The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears’ (2007) by Dinaw Mengestu (Ethiopia) “How was I supposed to live in America when I had never really left Ethiopia?” A debut novel that looks at the internal crisis of immigrant friends, with varying social status in the United States. An uncharacteristically honest language style. Book rating: 📙 📙 📙#ReadWriteAfrican
