Why do I love this book? The imagery. The courageous women and their struggle with religious and cultural tradition. It's a long letter, but a relatively short book (less than 100 pages) with many layers. I experience something new and, at the same time, reconnect with something old within my spirit every time I read it. It reminds me to let go.

Oh my, this is also one of my all time favorite books. usually when i mention it to others, they haven't a clue about the book. my african american literature professor introduced this book to me and that was the best thing she's ever done. she also recommend 'the bride price', 'god dies by the nile' and few other great novels by afrian writers.
