I find that i couldn't do justice to the novel. The reading was difficult, almost Kafkaesque in approach. My reading of women writers is very unintentional just as my skewness in earlier years. Trying to follow my challenges and that's helping.ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-73715875575419407132011-03-20T09:32:28.036+00:002011-03-20T09:32:28.036+00:00Bessie Head's story is quite tragic.

Her prose is sparse yet powerful beyond measure. Thanks for the review, Nana.
