| Description: | Select Guide Rating This collection of short stories sees Ama Ata Aidoo, one of Africa’s leading feminist and postcolonial writers, exercise the powerful effect of oral storytelling in her moving tales of shifting identities and the paradoxes of womanhood. Written with vibrant candour and tenacity, No Sweetness Here tackles the challenges of postcolonial Ghana, with topics ranging from the politics of wigs to the fragile joy of motherhood. In this collection, tradition struggles against modernisation, convention against liberation and all the while, Aidoo invites the reader to confront life’s injustices with her characteristic humour and poise. 'Even at her gravest, Aidoo writes with a sunny charm.' New York Times 'Beautifully written.' English Magazine |
