Aké: The Years of Childhood - Wole Soyinka

A memoir of a childhood in Nigeria, something else I knew nothing about before reading. The story takes place during the time of WWII. Since most WWII books I read are either set in Europe or are mainly about the Holocaust, it was interesting to read about how the war affected other places in the world, even if those places were not in the direct "line of fire" so to speak.
