  Helon Habila -- Waiting for an Angel

  This book is beautiful. That's the best way to describe it. And depressing, especially for someone also living in a third world hellhole (not as bad as Nigeria, but it could get there, and the whole thing is immensely sad--how it is that these countries implode because of corrupt leadership--it is so, so, tragic, especially for the ordinary people stuck in these miasmas). I don't indulge in hyperbole in books but this book is truly a gem.
  Has anyone else read this? Would love to hear others' thoughts.
  I highly recommend!

  Hi, good to read your glowing assessment of Waiting for an Angel. It is on my list to read - I have read Habila's Measuring Time and liked it a lot! Two brothers coming to terms with their lives in very different ways. Did you read it?
