To describe The Children of House No. D13, South Suntresu, Kumasi, as an intriguing
project is an understatement. A collective biography of eight siblings was always going to
be a daunting challenge, even if each person told their own story and got it together in one
volume. To do it in a coordinated combination of first and third person “voices” would
appear to be a bit implausible. To actually achieve the purpose and turn it from a project into
an enthralling reading experience deserves all the plaudits this book is likely to gather.
