Measuring Time

Author: Helon Habila
Bugs: 5
Review by: kayakreader

This book had a way of drawing you completely into the story without you ever knowing it. A story of two brothers, with very different adult lives, leaves you in their life and wondering how Habila can turn a reader on so well. Set in Africa, twin boys were raised by their aunt and sometimes their father. One of them became a professional and the other stayed home, became a teacher for a time, then a writer. The twins do come back together again and find their common 'twin spirit' but not for long. Great book.
