Customer Reviews

Loved Head's contributions!

Though all four stories are good, I particularly enjoyed Bessie Head's contributions to this book. It was required reading for an African Literature class, and I enjoyed them so much I decided to keep the book. Highly recommend to anyone interested in African Lit, since it gives various perspectives and an introduction to two authors.

African Stories.
