Head Above Water (African Writers Series)

If you have enjoyed Emechetta's novels, you will appreciate the context that this autobiography provides.

This woman is my heroine! She is so strong and yet so down to earth and still a mother through and through as this book shows us, with its snippets on buying plums for her kids on a day out to the zoo, and how she juggled studying, working and writing books and yet still be home on their return from school!I would love to read more recent stuff from her, I heard recently however that 2 of her daughters died which really saddened me as after reading this book, I really felt I knew her family well.

Came just as described. Almost like new

la qualité du livre est telle que je n'ai jamais osé le lire. J'attends de m'offrir une copie neuve lors d'un voyage à Londres pour me jeter dans cette oeuvre.

I will give it 5 stars although I have not yet started it. I love the books of Buchi Emecheta and it is on top of the pile of books stocked up for the wintermonths.
