"Say You're One of Them" by Uwem Akpan

It took me years to finish this book of short stories because it was an emotionally difficult read. It gives a realistic account of the misery and the atrocities experienced by children in modern Africa. The writer is now a Jesuit priest in Africa, and as far as I can tell, this is the only thing he has written. I bought this book in a sales bin, because I remembered that it had been chosen by Oprah Winfrey for her book club. I'm glad I read it.
