Overview
Freetown Echoes: Tales from Along the Odokoko by Ahmed Koroma is an evocative autofiction that captures a decade of life along the Odokoko stream in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Through vivid memories and interwoven narratives, the book portrays childhood, community rituals, folklore, school days, and visits to mosques, churches, and the library.
