Review # 1 was written on 2019-05-31 00:00:00 Martie Brown This was an interesting book, I haven't read much from Africa, safe from a few Northern countries and mostly from Arab writers, so this mixture of authors was really nice. It provides a good insight into what's in the mind of African writers (alas, a bit older writers). I thought most of them would have stories of war and colonisation, but surprisingly there were lots of different stories, and most talk about beliefs and the daily life. I really liked it, it reads different from everything else, even though there might be similarities here and there.
