17 essays written between 2010 and 2020 from the brilliant novelist, Aminatta Forna. The Scottish and Sierra Leonean writer has lived and traveled all over the world. A human repository of a rich and unique blend of experiential, journalistic, and academic knowledge, Forna‘s wordsmith game is superb.
3.5⭐️s for content, 5 ⭐️s for writing only because some essays were too erudite for me or were too heavy on encyclopedic detail and stats.

DivineDiana Great review! My goal is to improve my wordsmith game! 3y
