    1. Her books are powerful, The Joys of Motherhood is still one of my favourite novels of all time!!! You should try and read them. Thanks for stopping by.

  2. I have not read any of her books either but I am sure she made a difference in the literary world. May her soul rest in perfect peace in the arms of the lord.

    1. Hi Ogah,
      Yes, she did. Hopefully, you'll get to read some of her works.

      Thanks.

  3. I have read most of her works but it was the Joys of Motherhood that had an impact on me. The book, especially the ending, made me so angry at what it meant to be a woman at that time and what it still means to be a woman today despite our so called advancement as a society.

    RIP Buchi Emecheta. What an incredible woman, what a brilliant author! We are truly blessed to still have the best parts of her with us in the form of her many wonderful works.

    1. Hi there,
      The Joys of Motherhood is my all time favourite! I instantly fell in love with through that book, so I decided to read more of her works. However, The Joys of Motherhood leaves you with a strong impression.

      I concur, we have the best part of her in form of literature!
      Thank you.
