I have set myself a challenge to read around the world. I am hoping to have read one book from most countries before I am 50. Currently there are 195 recognised countries in the world, and I have done some research and found titles for some of them.
The first book I have read for my challenge is set in Sudan. It starts off with Nya's story carrying water back from the well to her house twice a day. One trip takes half a day. Woven with this story is Salva's recount of events involving the war in Sudan and him becoming a refugee.
It is a short story, and it wasn't until I finished that I realised it was based on a true story. I thoroughly enjoyed this short story.
