The Agoga bird cries in the night when something bad is going to happen. What happened to these girls was unforgivable. A true story of haunting beauty and triumph. Because of the poetry and charm and sincerity of Anthony Barton's writing, you know at once that he not only cares deeply about the terrible ordeal Teresa and her schoolmates have to go though, but also about the land and people of a paradise torn to pieces. The sky tasted of mongongo nuts, and because the sky was so close and so delicious, people sometimes broke off more than they could eat and threw the leftovers on the village trash heap. You want to frame this delicious language and eat it yourself - just as I am absolutely sure you will want to start reading this gorgeous book without delay. -- Sulby Hall Review [With a preface by Grace Akallo.]
