Zenzele: A Letter for My Daughter (Paperback)
by J. Nozipo Maraire

Zenzele is a small book, but as I read it I felt like I was swimming deeper and deeper into a deceptively calm lake. In a series of letters to her daughter going off to college, the narrator reflects on her life. She has seen her country make the transition into a more modern and troubling era, has struggled and found her own way to fight colonialism, has felt the tearing effects of modernity. A powerful narrative of the personal side of revolution.

The Hanging Tree: A Novel
by David Lambkin

This literary thriller, a bestseller in the author's native South Africa, combines mysticism and modern science in a quest for fossils in Kenya that leads to death on the veldt. The expedition led by paleontologist Kathryn Widd to examine an ancient skull soon begins to echo fatefully the ill-fated 1908 expedition of John Henry Patterson to the same area. Discoveries that raise troubling questions about man's more violent tendencies also lead the researchers into the realms of black magic, quantum physics, and the darker reaches of the human soul.

Segu
by Maryse Conde, Barbara Bray (Translator)

This family saga is set in the warlike kingdom of Segu (roughly present-day Mali) in the late 19th century. Conde is a born storyteller, commented PW, but the novel's ``cumulative effect is marred . . . by such a bewildering array of characters and such a density of cultural detail that the storyline becomes both sluggish and hard to follow.''
