Rosewater

I enjoyed this book immensely. It takes place in Nigeria and deals with aliens and psychic abilities. The location is unusual for science fiction as most of the books I've read, and in general what we have here in the U.S., have American and Euro-centric locales. This provided a different point of view with different values and mores. It's the first book in a trilogy. It has some loose ends but ends well enough that I didn't feel like I was completely hanging. It's well written and pretty fast paced. It was nominated for four awards, winning the Arthur C. Clarke Award, considered Britain's most prestigious SF award.
