Why read it?
1 author picked What Napoleon Could Not Do as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Reading is often the best kind of travel – all the adventure, none of the aggravation – and I love how Nurro’s fluent, intelligent writing takes me from Ghana to America and back again.
His characters, especially the siblings Belinda and Jacob, are like people in real life, complex and infuriating.
He has one of the most memorable children in recent fiction. In the best way, I never knew what was going to happen next, and I always wanted to find out.
