The latter was a disappointment for real. I do not think it belongs to the romance genre.

Incidentally, I was at the Yari Yari Conference in Accra where Doreen Baigana and Veronique Tadjo were participants. Doreen was part of the plenary that discussed the many avenues through which emerging authors can get their works out.

I have skipped it for a particular reason. I was weary of reading a lot of 'man-bashing' stories, especially if it is monodimensional. <br /><br />After your review, I might consider it.ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.com
