Determined to be successful in life, Yolandi escaped from the raging Liberian civil war in West Africa, trekking through the bush for days with his family from his hometown to the capital-city, Monrovia. Having successfully completed a first university degree in Biological Sciences at the local university, young Yolandi decided to further his education abroad. He had to make the difficult choice of travelling to London and leaving behind his lovely Clarissa, who was inseparable from him. He eventually decided to travel to London and study for a master’s degree in business administration (MBA) at the prestigious London School of Economics.

His journey first took him to Accra-Ghana and then to Ouagadougou-Burkina Faso where the real ‘Long Road to London’ commenced in earnest. Leaving behind Mum, Dad, his lovely Clarissa (his fiancée) and all his siblings, Yolandi embarked on a long journey from Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso to the heart of London, not by air but by road.

Will Yolandi successfully set foot in London to pursue his MBA degree? This extraordinary journey by road through the West African Sahel Region to London will leave you spell-bound. This novel will keep you hanging on the edge as you anxiously read the many adventures and the misadventures faced by Yolandi on his Long Road to London.
