This review is from: Moonlight Bride (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book. It is a pleasant and interesting story that gives a wonderful insight into daily life in an African village. It presents the culture in a respectful manner and allows the reader to appreciate the pleasures of life in this specific part of Africa. It also has a bit of mystery in the plot, so it is fun to read. I recommend it highly.
