Measuring Time
Measuring Time by Helon Habila is a novel about LaMamo and Mamo, twin brothers whose mother died in childbirth. After their mother’s death, the boys are raised by their aunt and their heartless father. The brothers separate when LaMamo runs away to become a solider in a West African civil war and Mamo stays home, too sickened by sickle cell anemia to join his brother. The brothers stay in touch through LaMamo’s letters from the warfront as Mamo goes on to become a brilliant student, defying expectations that he would not live long. » Read more…
