How Beautiful We Were by Imbolo Mbue

How Beautiful We Were is a powerful — and devastating— novel that follows one African village’s fight against an American oil company. Imbolo Mbue deftly explores the legacy of colonialism and its harmful impact on the environment through the community of Kosawa. This novel reminds of us the importance of community and standing up for what’s right, even if it seems impossible.
