This is a masterful, humane work of literary journalism by New Yorker staff writer Alexis Okeowo — a vivid narrative of Africans, many of them women, who are courageously fighting the odds.
In A Moonless, Starless Sky Okeowo weaves together four narratives that form a powerful tapestry of modern Africa.
This debut book by one of America’s most acclaimed young journalists 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, according to a review on goodreads.com.
