If you’re one of the folk who commute to work on the tube or the bus on a continent far away from our own, perhaps we can help you escape, in your mind at least, to the hot, red sand of Africa where the cicadas will sing you to sleep. We asked some of our team (the literate ones) for their favourite African books:
Craig – Mafeking Road and Other Stories by Herman Charles Bosman
Ross – Mukiwa by Peter Godwin
Jeanne – Jock of the Bushveld by Sir Percy Fitzpatrick
Anton – The Power of One by Bryce Courtney
David – Around Africa on my Bike by Riaan Manser
Billy – In a Different Time by Peter Harris
Sam – Spud by John Van De Ruit
Monique – The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
Kyle – Cry the Beloved Country by Alan Paton
Bianca – Are We There Yet? By David Smiedt
If you have a favourite, we’d love to hear it, so please share…
