Catharine L. (Petoskey, MI)

Ghost Season
4.5 Five characters- an American, a cook, a translator, and a 12 year old boy are caught up in a conflict between the nomads and the Nilots. The setting is the border between North and South Sudan. The people are poor , illiterate, and because of climate change not able to provide for their families. Amidst the civil war these five individuals must put aside their differences to save one another. A realistic look at a world we cannot imagine.
Judith G. (Ewa Beach, HI)

Descriptions abound
Set in north Africa where life is difficult. Multitudes of descriptive prose. Characters easy to connect with if you enjoy that intensity. Section VII includes a 'report' that was unneeded. I skipped it. Final pages led to an expected conclusion but was tedious to read.
