Interesting book written by the author, Clayton Bess, while he was a PeaceCorp volunteer in Liberia. Story for a Black Night is about the moral choices women make in the midst of crisis, in this instance during a bout with smallpox. The most charming aspect of the book is its sing-song anti-grammar phrasing, such as “That is why that evening as I listened to silence in the bush, I was scary. Night was coming to be dark now.” ( ) no reviews | add a review
An African father tells his son about the disaster that followed the night a baby with smallpox was abandoned in his family's house. No library descriptions found. |
