Penguin African Writers Series: As The Crow Flies
Veronique Tadjo EAN: 9780143026228 Release Date: 1 August 2009 Véronique Tadjo weaves together a rich tapestry of voices to tell stories of parting and return, suffering, healing and desire in a lyrical and moving exploration of the human heart. Like a bird in flight, the reader travels across a borderless landscape composed of tales of everyday existence, news reports, allegories and ancestral myths, becoming aware in the course of the journey of the interconnection of individual lives. |
| Tadjo’s prose is so ephemeral that it’s difficult to remember that she is writing about heartache and pain.
The narrative is presented as a series of chapters in varying length, with characters who are nameless and faceless, representing everyman and everywoman. |
