| Description: | Expanded and updated collection of short stories using Head’s ‘Tales of Tenderness and Power’ as a basis. The Loverscollects Head’s short fiction of the 1960s and 70s, written mainly in Serowe, Botswana, and depicting the lives and loves of African village people pre- and post-independence. An earlier selection called Tales of Tenderness and Power was published in the Heinemann African Writers Series in 1990, but this expanded and updated volume adds many previously unavailable stories collected here for the first time. Anthology favourites like her breakthrough ''The Woman from America'' and ''The Prisoner who Wore Glasses'' are included, leading up to the first complete text of her much translated title story.
