(N.B. For a novel to qualify (and this is my definition only), it must be in English, fiction, non-autobiography, non-poetry, set in that country, and the author must have been born and raised in that country, and must have resided in that country for the some part of their adult lives. As such, no qualifying novels exist for Burundi, Falkland Islands, French Guiana, Guinea (it's doubtful that Camara Laye actually wrote the books attributed to him), Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, Madagascar, Niger, Oman, Suriname, or Rwanda. Also none qualify from Eritrea as 'Riding The Whirlwind' is set in Ethiopia. Nothing qualifies from The Gambia as Ebou Dibba and Dayo Forster both never returned to the country after leaving for University, and Lenrie Peters' novel is set in Sierra Leone. Nothing qualifies for Equatorial Guinea as Shadows Of Your Black Memory is a memoir.
