Tiny Sunbirds Far Away by Christie Watson

A novel about a family in Nigeria who are forced to move out of the city and into a compound in the country when the parents divorce.  I very much enjoyed this novel which is an excellently written exciting story about family relationships as well as the Nigerian political situation.   The characters are well drawn, believable and often humorous.  There is some violence in the book but it is not dark and is surprisingly positive.  A great read.
