The Fortune Men by Nadifa Mohamed
4.5
challenging dark emotional informative sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Based on the true story of a Somali man unjustly hanged for murder in Cardiff in the 1950s. Atmosheric, with well-portrayed - not always likeable - characters.
