This review is from: Cloth Girl (Hardcover)

I didn't expect this novel to get under my skin in quite the way it did! It is a novel with a relatively simple premise, and somewhat conventional narrative form, and it is a perfectscaffold for a very rich, affecting, complicated, and very original tale of a child bride turned woman on the eve of Ghana's independence. I can't get this heroine out of my mind! Can't wait to read more from this author.

This review is from: Cloth Girl (Hardcover)

I picked up this book at random, looking for books about Ghanaians about Ghana. I am so happy I chose Cloth Girl. It have not been able to put it down. It completely captures the life, colours, smells, traditions, feelings, everything of Ghanaian life from several totally different perspectives and weaves them together in an easy to read, enjoyable manner. The story line is interesting and the characters alive. I don't usually write reviews, but I was moved to do so for this book. I look forward to more books from this author.
