A review by joyful24
The Story of the Cannibal Woman by Maryse Condé

3.0

I checked out this book because the author won the Hurston/Wright award. I figured it would be an interestingly french carribean take on some sad love story. I was so off the mark. Its interesting, but the main character is flat. I think the translation from French into English may have harmed the story. The plot was well planned, it just was executed in a verbose and sometimes boring way.
