It held my interest from beginning to end. Also, I held my breath a few times. Very well done.pcrandall123https://www.blogger.com/profile/12413044712798318645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-90558667093708792132015-02-09T08:24:35.272+00:002015-02-09T08:24:35.272+00:00Hello, Feyisayo Anjorin:

As a teacher, I'm familiar with the sort of teacher-student dynamics that emerge. You did a great job tapping into this kind of discomfort!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />BPBillie Pritchetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975931918383394113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-51320585786489983122015-02-03T07:37:46.143+00:002015-02-03T07:37:46.143+00:00a very interesting Story. i loved the descriptions...a very interesting Story. i loved the descriptions of the Country, absolutely fascinating!. and a Story that Shows that good wins thru in the end, although it can be an extremely Long wait!<br /><br />Mike McCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-58436813261627292492015-02-02T16:48:16.650+00:002015-02-02T16:48:16.650+00:00Though they're sometimes a tough read, I enjoy...Though they're sometimes a tough read, I enjoy stories like this (and Beryl's comical tales of the South African Sisters) because they introduce the reader to a world well beyond their own, a community that bares no resemblance to the comforts of their neighborhood. Traditions, expectations, dress, and cultural do's and don'ts all sneak into the sidelines of the story (in this case, as Ceinwen points out, a story of a complex, troubled community - in Beryl's tales, the emphasis is on the comical undertones) bringing a reader, such as myself, living in the comfort of western America, into a life that he/she would never have thought about, much less understood.
