När Yusuf är 12 år skickas han till kusten för att bo hos sin farbror Aziz, som är en välbärgad köpman. Men Aziz är inte hans farbror och Yusuf har skickats dit för att betala av föräldrarnas skuld.

En intressant inblick i en värld och en tid som jag knappt känner till. Om köpmännens liv och leverne för omkring 100 år sedan, då delar av Afrika var ockuperat av andra makter. Språket är lättsamt och gör att historien flyter på bra. Trots detta så tror jag inte att Paradiset kommer att lämna några djupare spår hos mig. Kan bero på att jag lyssnade på boken. Jag kände att jag tappade koncentrationen ibland och kanske missade en del, men orkade inte "spola tillbaka" för att lyssna igen.
