You’re welcome, WendyCat! If you like African literature, I think you’d enjoy Akpan’s prose.

Thank you for a great review, Wendy. As you know, I am very interested in what is going on in Africa, and I have had my eye on this author’s short story collection since I first heard about it and am eager to read it. I will probably wait for the paperback version to come out though as my budget is tight.

YES, Laura! I had this on my list to read for one of my book groups and was so glad to see the rating that Bookmarks gave to the collection

Hey! I just read about this short story collection, in Bookmarks Magazine I think. It looked wonderful. Glad to see your review!
