Faceless

Street life in the slums of Accra is realistically portrayed in this socially-commited subtle novel about four educated women who are inspired by the plight of a 14-year old girl Fofo. As the main characters convert their library center into a practical street initiative the novel invokes the squalor health risks and vicious cycles of poverty and violence that drive children to the streets and women to prostitution; and from which ultimately no one in the society is free.
