Reviews
By tira-mi-suShen
A lucid, gripping and at times touching novel set in corrosive Sierra Leone. Maddys 1st novel combines loyalty, betrayal, love and atonement against a backdrop of greed, violence and nefarious rebel rule.
By West Africa Cooks
Wow, Great writing, hard hitting and at times moving. Shocking yet tender moments set in Africa, you feel like you are back home, but not as it is set in terrible times.
By Sqn Ldr Winston Forde
This is a case of "Mission accomplished!" As promised by Nadia, I found her first novel, The Palm Oil Stain, to be a deeply moving love story that relays the harsh reality of war, betrayal, and redemption whilst using an enjoyable if particularly readable style, and language.
