The House at Sugar Beach

The House at Sugar Beach by Helene Cooper was our Book Club selection for this month. I thought it was a fascinating book. It is basically Helene Cooper's memoir. Helene Copper is a New York Times correspondent who grew up in the elite class in Liberia. Her family fled when there was coup. I was very ignorant about Liberia and found the book a interesting read as well as enlightening about the history of Liberia. There was a excellent book review on Shelby's Liberia Blog.
