Set in 1970s Accra, this inventive and intense first novel by Kojo Laing provides an insight into aspects of a Ghanaian society caught in transition between tradition and modernity.  Examining the beliefs, ideals and aspirations of a selection of those who make up the country (which include a politican, a professor, a farmer and a bishop) like a skilful bartender Kojo Laing has created a heady cocktail in Search Sweet Country that will not fail to stimulate the reader's mind.
