Summary: An often sad yet lovely book
Comment: I was assigned to read this book as part of my secondary school education, and though I wasn't taken by it at first, I eventually did. Zaynab Alkali's The Stillborn is a novel that takes the reader not only into the lives of three Nigerian women but it also have a universal theme in its locality which is simply that life often doesn't turn out the way we want and in the end it is how we face it that counts. I highly recommend this novel.

Summary: The Birth and Death of Dreams in Nigerian culture
Comment: I was assigned this book in studying Nigeria, so although I had a negative attitude going into it, I was quite impressed and entertained by this quick read. By following the lives of three Nigerian women, this book shares the aspects of the culture and the effects that modernization had on the people. It is very light yet touches on emotional and thoughtful actions of the individual characters. I recommend this book as an easy, entertaining, and well-written story of females in a different society.
