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.

Kojo Laing is renowned Ghanaian poet and novelist. His first two novels - Search Sweet Country and Woman of the Aeroplanes - were first published by William Heinemann in the 1980s. Acclaimed at the time by critics such as Robert Fraser and Adewale Maja-Pearce, the Heinemann African Writers Series’ republication of these seminal works comes at a time of renewed interest in Laing, who has been a major influence on a younger generation of writers. Other Laing titles previously published by the Series are the poetry collection Godhorseand the novel Major Gentl and the Achimota Wars.
