This book moved me. I loved everything about it. What a grown up little book. I am still basking in its after glow.

I enjoyed this book almost as much as Maraire's Zenzele, which Is also written as an epistle. Ramatoulaye has just buried her husband, and is writing to a very good friend, Aissatou with whom she grew up and remained very close. This is the story of what is happening all over Africa, the struggle between traditional values and modern society, particularly in the Muslim countries. They have much in common: their very successful husbands, married a second wife ( which they didn't know about until the wedding was over), and neither was very happy about it.
