a great book from a GREAT hearted writer- By: , 12 Oct 2004 Bessie Head writes about ordinary womenin African villages, often dealing with extaordinary situations. She writes with great love & feeling for these women. In a series of short, simply presented stories, Bessie Head introduces us to women with profund decisions to make, & often difficult circumstances to deal with. How each woman faces these trials & deals with them, reveals the authors deep understanding of the way tragic & profound experiences can enrich us & give greater meaning to our own & others lives.Much more than a description of womens positionin African society. This is a great book from a GREAT writer & humanitarian.
