review 1: Because I grew up in Africa I was naturally drawn to this book. It was beautifully told, if structurally a little drawn out and repetitive. But the country was evoked perfectly and it was something of an exercise in nostalgia for me. The author clearly knows the country and its people and the story surprised me in many ways. It was not at all predictable and I couldn't second-guess where the author was going. Lovely read.
review 2: A wonderful story! Suzanne is a simple, yet eloquent writer, and you can feel her passion for the education of women and women's rights in African countries. The story is filled with courage and strength, of women supporting each other and caring for their families despite it all. Of a young women in particular, her dreams of an educ... moreation dashed by an arranged marriage, who goes on to change her dreams and still be all that she could be as a mother, a wife, a friend and a fellow woman in a community of women. Love it and cannot wait to see what else Suzanne does. less
