The Caine Prize for African Wrinting 2011 My Rating : 4 Stars Genre: Short Story/Fiction Year Of Publication : 2011 Number of pages:  224 SUMMARY A gang of young children from a camp pay a marauding visit to a rich neighbourhood... Will the murder of her daughter shake the foundations of Molly's world?... The death of the village Lothario causes a sexual revolution as husbands try to figure out what he had been giving their wives... A girl abducted by a rebel group years before comes home to pick up the threads of her life... A woman looks back over her long life and wonders how she ended up with her husband's mistress's dog... MY VERDICT This is the first Caine Prize book I've read, so It's safe to say I was impressed with what I read. This book contained a collection of 17 short stories by different authors from various parts of Africa. I love reading stories by other African Authors, mainly because of the knowledge and edge it adds to my mind.  ...

As per usual, my wishlist has quadrupled in size and I still don't have the funds to purchase all the books on it #brokegirllifestyle So Wishlist Wednesday- from the name- is basically a monthly post on any random Wednesday of my choice where I'd list out books I've been lusting after. Each edition of Wishlist Wednesday will hold a different theme e.g Feminist edition, Female Authors edition (as stated in the post title) , Slavery edition, Foreign edition and so on. I really look forward to sharing the books I have discovered and those that are waiting to be discovered xx                                                                                                                      ...
