Have to say I really loved this book. It takes the reader on a journey to a country where the colour of your skin means so much and not just the difference between black and white but also albinoism. The reader is transported through a journey of a teenage boy and his grandmother. This is weaved into the book really well, when the boy uncovers letters his grandmother sent his brother when he was away in America. The story of her journey is heartbreaking and also tells a love story. This helps build a level of understanding and helps the boy through his own issues due to the colour of his skin. At times its laugh out loud funny especially the little sister and at other times it's heart in your mouth anger and sadness about a world like this. I was gripped all the way through!
