Top 5 Tuesday ~ Africa

Top Five Tuesday was originally created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, but is now hosted by Meeghan @ Meeghan Reads. To participate, link your post back to Meeghan’s blog or leave a comment on her weekly post. I found this on Davida's Page @ The Chocolate Lady.

This week’s topic is a Books set in Africa, Australia and New Zealand. I found ten books for Africa already and could have done the same for the two other continents/countries. So, I decided to restrict myself to one continent, the largest one, and hope to do Australia and New Zealand another time. Same as in the last weeks, I have tried to choose some books from smaller countries about which one doesn't find books so easily. So, here is my list.
Achebe, Chinua "Things Fall Apart" - 1958
Nigeria

Adichie, Chimamanda Ngozi "Half of a Yellow Sun" - 2006
Biafra, Nigeria

Bâ, Mariama "So Long a Letter" (F: Une si longue lettre) - 1979
Senegal

Dangarembga, Tsitsi "Nervous Conditions" - 1988
Zimbabwe

Ilibagiza, Immaculée "Left to Tell" - 2006
Rwanda

  1. Will definitely check these out! Thank you for sharing them. Adichie is already on my radar, too, but glad to discover new authors.

    1. I'm glad you did, Lin. That was exactly my idea. It's no good always hearing about the same books.
