A beautiful African story - Rated This book should be used in schools here to help the children who descended from Africans of all backgrounds to learn about the way of life and culture and traditions of Africa before the influence of foreign values and colonialism. The Usurper and Other Stories, A grain of Wheat, Disciples of Fortune, No Longer at Ease, are some of the other African titles I enjoyed. A classic revolutionary novel set in the colonial '50s - Rated This is an absolutely exhilarating, heart-wrenching exploration of the people and events surrounding the '50s national railway strike of the 'Smoke of the Savanna' in colonial French west Africa. All the people come to life before you and the book transports the reader to the middle of the compounds, railway yards, riots and women's marches of the one year act of resistance. Paving the way to the successful nationalist movement for independence the strike momentum lives here as the stand-off between hunger and affronted colonial pride. Testing traditional family structures and the integrity of individuals this has real villains and heroes. A true epic novel with the detail to move tears. So, 'What washes the water clean?' ..............(now that would be telling!)
