“Though she be but little, she is fierce.” – William Shakespeare
The Sun Will Soon Shine by Sally Sadie Singhateh is all the proof you’ll ever need that a powerful story can be told with the slightest of touches.
Clocking in at just over 100 pages, this slim book packs a serious punch with a protagonist you love right away; you deeply feel her pain, and her triumphs.
Back to West Africa, and I’m thrilled! This will be my first in-depth introduction to The Gambia, and I’m truly excited about it. A country surrounded on three sides by another country (Senegal), and dominated by a single natural feature (the Gambia river), just the physical dynamics of the place seem super cool. Very ready to jump in, meet some new people via my reading, and have the chance to cook some more delicious Western African food.
Here we go!
