I read Azúcar, by Nii Ayikwei Parkes, a few months ago, but forgot to add to reviews. Enjoyable and light. Not as rich for me as Tail of the Blue Bird. I kept waiting for the novel to go deeper, but instead it stayed relentlessly on the surface. More like a young adult novel, in that regard, and I can see it having a lot of appeal to teen readers. Nice review by Houman Barekat from The Guardian is here.
