COMMUNITY REVIEWS

great story with apparently good info re Africa submitted by hathaway1066 on August 2, 2013, 10:54pm The story is very engaging but along the way, readers will pick up a good, though introductory sense of some aspects of life, history, etc. in the southern part of Africa: presence of Portuguese in the region, difficulties due to wars for independence, difficulties faced by girls and women in traditional society, other aspects of traditional societies in that region as well.
