A Review

Oral & Written Poetry in African Literature Today

Set in Sierra Leone, West Africa, A Tale of Three Women is epic in scope, covering a span of 60 years and touching upon some of the country's most important historical events. Against this background, Eustace Palmer deftly weaves a story of three women who meet each other at a traditional sewing school but whose fortunes take widely different turns over the years. A Tale of Three Women is a story of friendship, class consciousness, betrayal, love and treachery, as well as a subtle exploration of Creole culture in Sierra Leone's Western region.

A Tale of Three Women

Ernest Cole

With several literary awards to his name and a skillset that excels in both poetry and prose, Syl Cheney-Coker is often regarded as one of the most exciting and distinguished writers to have emerged from Africa in recent years. Taking his influence from Africa, Latin America and Europe, he consistently produces complex, popular, but often misunderstood works. The book consists of illuminating interviews with Cheney-Coker, and a number of essays which analyse Cheney-Coker's influences and the cultural consequences of his work.
