Tales of Tenderness and Power by Bessie Head

raulbime's review

4.0

In the first story to this collection the narrator explains an encounter with a lawyer of the practical unfeeling kind: "I struggled quite unsuccessfully to explain a delicate matter to him that needed just a bit of understanding and humane feeling and couldn't understand why he kept pulling me to shreds."

These stories are just the opposite, full of understanding and humane feeling.
