Book Review by Nomalungelo: "The Dark Child by Camara Laye"

This is an account of a childhood in Eastern Guinea in 1930. The child grows up watching his father smelt gold and making jewellery. As he grows up he experiences that there is a snake guiding his father's success. This is respected in the home. He tells of his African traditions and circumcision rituals. This book is ideal for persons interested in African culture.
