THE SLAVE GIRL
Vivid and evocative...
an incisive picture of Nigerian society fifty years ago...
the people come to life
DAILY TELEGRAPH
'A compelling read...
the story of Objeta, an Ibo girl sold to a wealthy aunt
by a greedy brother. Buchi Emecheta generates
a fine sympathy with human distress; this loving novel
makes a telling indictment of pagan and
Christian inhumanity to women
NEW STATESMAN
'A powerful story...
Buchi Emecheta wages a battle for the women's
cause and demonstrates once again her
mastery of language and powers of description'
AFRICA WOMAN
'Never becomes sensationalist...
Buchi's austere style controls the pathos and
pain of the story
SPARE RIB
deserves to be read
