Commentary Concering Books Yohannes Ishi

Born in Ethiopia, but adopted by a British couple, Yohannes grows up far from his cultural roots. Following the death of his adoptive mother, he is persuaded to return to the beautiful, yet seemingly impossible nation, to take on a teaching job.

With no memories of the land of his birth and no knowledge of the language or culture, Yohannes finds himself a virtual stranger. He meets a whole raft of interesting characters, each with their own story to tell including Abeba, who helps him not only to learn about his country, but also to make discoveries about himself.

Yohannes Ishi is a light read, but, at the same time, it paints vivid pictures of contemporary Ethiopia and successfully explores issues of identity and belonging. It is full of memorable characters and evocative locations. While introducing you to, or reminding you of, Addis Ababa it will certainly raise a smile or two along the way.

Judge Containing Books Yohannes Ishi

I love this book - it's a really entertaining light read full of individuals' stories and memorable characters.

Yohannes Ishi made me fall in love with Ethiopia. it was such a gorgeous, memorable book that it will stay with me for the rest of my life.

This was a fast, easy read that allowed me real insight as I came to know and understand Yohannes. Already knew and loved Ethiopia beforehand, now even more so.

I laughed out loud, I smiled, I cried. Emotion packed story.Yohannes is Ethiopian-born but raised by adopted parents in England. He thinks of himself as English, not Ethiopian. After schooling and at the request of his father, he returns to Ethiopia to teach art in the International Community School. This is his story.He doesn't search for his birth mother because he has English parents. He is so English that the locals call him faerang (white stranger). He does, however, search for friendships



This is a short story/novella 130ish pages. Perhaps should be 3 stars because it leaves you wanting more.(so often the case with short stories)

Only 130ish pages, I bought this off the Kindle store for my around-the-world challenge without checking number of pages. Had I looked, I would have chosen something else, as I like books that give a country/character a decent contemplation or reflection.Yohannes Ishi was unsurprisingly easy to read. Also as expected, the story did not feel very substantial. Nonetheless, for a book of its length, it was good and efficiently combined slices of Ethiopian history/tradition/current issues, family,
