I found this book as I was searching my library‘s page for this author‘s latest book, Impossible Creatures. I fell in love with the cover and knew nothing of what it was about.

Very different from Impossible Creatures. We follow Wilhelmina, Will, as she lives with her dad in a farm in Africa. A perfect life in her eyes. After her father‘s death, thing changes on the farm and she‘s sent to boarding school in England.

It‘s still Tuesday here (barely)!😂 Better late than never. Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView . 😊

1. The tagged book was probably my favorite book read this month.

2. I love a good “coming of age” novel and I particularly appreciated the female perspective from a country and culture not my own.

A heartwarming true story about a young African man who wanted an education, and the friendship he developed with an American girl. The friendship began with a school pen pal program and continues today. #bookbinge #immigrantmc

Another one from my #14Books14Weeks2023 pile. I bought this on a whim for $1 at the library, but the investment has exceeded my expectations. I loved this hard hitting coming of age novel set in late 1960s Rhodesia. Tambe is caught between childhood and adulthood, between tradition and progress, between colonialism and independence. As a Black African female, her position, despite her education and her ambition, will always be tenuous and fraught.

batsy Nice review. I've had this on my shelves for too long; really must get to it soon. 8mo
Ruthiella @batsy I hope you find it as rewarding as I have, when you get to it. 8mo
BarbaraBB Great review. Will be interested in the second part and your thoughts on it. 7mo

This YA book is a page turning true story about an American girl and an African boy that became pen pals and how through those letters both of their world views not only expanded immensely but their lives changed forever.

Every teenager should read this! ✍️
