Stories from Zimbabwean writer Petina Gappah's debut collection, An Elegy for Easterly, which won the Guardian First Book Award for 2009.Read by Lucian Msamati.
A collection of short stories by a Zimbabwean woman who is a lawyer living now in Geneva. The setting, in Zimbabwe, immediately invites comparisons with Chimimanda Adichie from Nigeria — but it lacks that immediacy and intimacy somehow. 3 1/2*
