In Family Affairs the author returns to the fictitious town of Talia that featured in his previous novel, In Search of Sons. Once again he has dealt with the stresses, strains and even tragedies that can arise within families when the time honoured beliefs and expectations are challenged. These are common themes in fiction. What makes Family Affairs particularly interesting is the obvious affection the author has for the people among whom this family drama unfolds. Except for one or two individuals they are illiterate Mende people living in a small rural town ion Sierra Leone. Without ever sounding patronising he has woven their concerns, customs and beliefs into a gripping story.
