This book is comprised of sixteen short stories each told from the point of view of a Zimbabwean woman. It shows the difficulties the women must endure while living in the United States. Politics are mentioned briefly in a few stories but do not play a major role. I was struck by how strong these women were and how they were treated by the families and society. Some of these stories stayed with me even after I finished the book.
The author did an excellent job writing the stories as if each was about a real woman. If I did not know this book was fictional, I would believe the stories to be true accounts. I recommend this book to anyone interested in women’s and immigrant’s lives.
