_a"A masterful, humane work of nonfiction by New Yorker staff writer Alexis Okeowo. Casting aside stereotypes and superficial headlines, Okeowo reveals a rich, vivid account of everyday people swept up in the war and extremism -- and how they fight back. Based on the six years she spent living and reporting from across the continent, Okeowo weaves together four narratives that form a powerful tapestry of Africa today: a young Ugandan couple, kidnapping victims of Joseph Kony's LRA; a Mauritanian waging a lonely campaign against modern slavery; a teenage basketball player flourishing in war-torn Somalia, despite threats against her life; and a dual portrait of a Nigerian girl who escapes the clutches of Boko Haram and a government bureaucrat who decides to take up arms. The first book from one of America's most acclaimed young journalists, A Moonless, Starless Sky illuminates the inner lives of ordinary people doing the extraordinary -- lives that are too often hidden, underreported, or ignored by the rest of the world"-- _cProvided by publisher. |
