“The memoir of an African student in Madrid in the 1970s, Beads of Memory is
a fascinating socio-political treatise on family, tradition,
colonialism and the disillusion with post-colonial Africa. Replete with
colorful characters and memorable events that stretch from the
snow-capped Sierra mountains of Madrid to the twisting Hills of Nkar,
Cameroon, Beads of Memory resonates with the reader and tugs at the strings of nostalgia as it hearkens back to much simpler but intriguing times.”
