This novella is a book of short stories about the women of Lesotho. Told in their own words - and then translated into English by family and friends - it gives insight into the lives of women living in this small Country in South Africa.
These were interesting stories. They are a little rough - as stories are when told second hand and then translated. But I do love first hand accounts, especially from women, in any of these countries, so this book is a treasure.
