(4) YA Charlotte Adom starts college in Kumasi, Ghana, and becomes involved in political events, fighting against J. J. Rawlings when he takes power for the second time in 1981. The pull between Charlotte's everyday life with two competing love interests and her political activism is awkwardly depicted. Still, this rare YA novel on modern life in Africa fills a gap. Author's note included. Glos.
