A Different Conde
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Heremakhonon takes a different bent for Conde in which it seems that she was writing to a rhythmn of very fast-paced drums. It is more complex than Segu. Looking for herself the young protagonist goes to Africa leaving behind the subtle effects of racism in the US. It is an adventure for her and the reader. Anyone who likes the direct contact with the protagonist's mind will love this novel. In reading it, you don't have to wait long to find out exactly what she thinks in any situation, Conde puts it right there for you. It is a book written in an abrupt and intriging style.
