Foreign Soil by Maxine Beneba Clarke

5.0

I really loved reading this collection of short stories! I had only read maybe one other collection before because I thought I was more into longer narratives but if this is anything to go by, I was wrong. I thought each story was excellent - some more than others obviously - but Beneba Clarke is truly, truly talented at embodying a range of voices and engaging a reader quickly. Furthermore, these stories are important! They are diverse, eye-opening, confronting and sometimes brutally honest, and I wish more people would access them and bear witness to some of the perspectives she gives. 4.5 stars.
