Disobedience - Naomi Alderman
This is a little gem of a book that won Naomi Alderman the 2006 New Writers Orange Award.
The Sunburnt Queen by Hazel Crampton
The Sunburnt Queen, by Hazel Crampton, promises to tell the story of Bessie the adopted English white child of the amaMpondo, who castaway in the 1730's grows to become the Great Wife of a Prince. But does it really meet this expectation, or does she got lost amongst shipwrecks and subjectivity?
