Read in February, 2007
recommends it for:
any woman, anyone with a cultural superiority complex
This is a vivid and beautifully rendered account of both colonial Africa and the female experience. We learn that poor treatment transcends the boundaries of black and white, and that everyone can come together in the exploitation and commoditization of women. Filled with startling parallels. Don't take the advice of the guy who gave it one star. It's about the mistreatment of WOMEN, which is necessarily something he could (personally) know nothing about. This is a BRILLIANT book.

I did NOT like the way this book ended. Buchi Emecheta tends to end stories too quickly for me, but this one was a little more developed towards the end. However, I did not like the ending to this story. I was if no morsel of wisdom was gained.
