Beginning story in London brings a deja vu experience for most diasporans settling in Britain. The tube, the morning tea's, the pubs, the starter hot jobs and not least culture shocks of looking in the eyes while speaking.
The story picks up pace getting more gripping with enough twist and turns that recall our exposed strength's, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
While Suji in this story had bucket loads of luck and seized opportunities, this book to the discerning new diasporan; effectively maps out the route to the top. The only regular feature in diasporans journey missing in this plot is the resulting children from exploring couples.
Suji's arrival at the top after constructing his black Ladder and leaving it for others to climb is what makes this book the best contemporary African novel I have read and a must read for all diasporans for the sake of learning or diasporans recalling their epic journeys to their promise
