A review by gugsnbooks
Rotten Row by Petina Gappah
4.0
This book was an absolute pleasure to read.
A collection of short stories that are not only only complete in themselves but have links and are interconnected throughout all the stories in the book, this book was interesting, rich and nuanced. Every story had it's own voice and style which kept me engaged.
It's always refreshing to have an authentic and layered approach to, in particular, Zimbabwean stories - where the tendency is usually to be shallow and one-sided. Gappah, achieves the perfect balance.
I highly recommend this book!
