![]() The irony here is that Walker is an insightful writer whose two major nonfiction books - Black, White and Jewish and Baby Love - had the heft and the narrative flow of the best fiction. Our unnamed narrator falls in love with a Swahili man she meets on an island just off the Kenyan coast, grows apart from her friend and closer to her lover's family, and must struggle with the brutal realities of life under brutal Kenyan leader Daniel arap Moi - all in 112 short pages. It's a wild ride along with an unnamed (more on that later) biracial college student who's traveling through Africa with her white best friend. Rarely as the rush of romance felt so, well, rushed as it does in Rebecca Walker's maiden novel Adé: A Love Story. ![]() Your purchase helps support NPR programming. ![]() Close overlay Buy Featured Book Title Ade Subtitle A Love Story Author Rebecca Walker ![]()
