Samenvatting
Freetown Echoes: Tales from Along the Odokoko by Ahmed Koroma is an evocative autofiction that captures a decade of life along the Odokoko stream in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Through vivid memories and interwoven narratives, the book portrays childhood, community rituals, folklore, school days, and visits to mosques, churches, and the library. Memorable characters like Ken Clark, Elephant, Bad Kahina, and others embody the spirit, humor, and struggles of the creekside life. Political tension, especially during the 1973 and 1977 elections, shapes the backdrop of these stories. The collection closes with a tender encounter at the Children’s Hospital, offering a quiet glimpse of care and connection amid a changing world.
