Black Mamba Boy by Nadifa Mohamed
3.0
I wanted to like this more than I did. How these parts of Africa were caught up in WW2 and suffered terribly is very important and I think something often overlooked completely. It's an extremely brutal read.
I loved the interview with the author's dad at the end, who this fiction is based on. I think that may have been a better book actually as it sometimes feels stuck halfway between fact and fiction and doesn't always flow well.
