A very good book.
The Bride Price by Buchi Emecheta is a wonderful book. If you are interested in woman's roles, feminism in other countries, and social issues, I highly reccomend that you read this book.

The other review has the WRONG book
Karen Jones Delk's "The Bride Price" is a romance novel...and it's not memorably good. It starts out well, but the hero, Sharif's possessiveness, and his attempts at controlling the heroine, Bryna, in the last 1/3 of the book (when she's lost her memory following a trauma) are not very attractive.

This review is from: The Bride Price (Paperback)
Karen Jones Delk's "The Bride Price" is a romance novel...and it's not memorably good. It starts out well, but the hero, Sharif's possessiveness, and his attempts at controlling the heroine, Bryna, in the last 1/3 of the book (when she's lost her memory following a trauma) are not very attractive. Frankly, Sharif's actions toward Bryna put him only a notch above his skank nephew who was Bryna's "master" in the first place. Sure, there are moments of sensuality, but when it came to romance, it just wasn't happening.
Still, one has to give the author kudos for her research into the Arabian desert, the desert tribes, and Africa in the early-19th century. She can write, but the romance aspect of this novel just didn't take off. (And since it IS supposed to be a romance novel, that's kind of important.)
