Dinaane: Short Stories by Women from South Africa by Maggie Davey (see author list below)
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 449KB | Retail
Overview: The African writer, Yvonne Vera, used to recall that, as a young girl in the cotton fields, the urge to write was so strong that with no pen and paper available she picked up a twig and started to scratch words onto her skin. Stories in South Africa kept the dream of freedom alive during the colonial and apartheid years; and the tradition of the people and elders of a village meeting under the shade of a tree is based on telling stories as a way of arriving at an understanding. This rich tradition is brought to life here, by women who write of and from the landscape and its people. Part of a series showcasing contemporary women writers from around the world.
