2015: The Year of Reading Women discussion

Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvonne_Vera

I read and really enjoyed Butterfly Burningthis year. I'm hoping to read more by this Zimbabwean author next year.

I have Butterfly Burning but nothing else by her.

While I wasn't completely sold on Butterfly Burning, women authors from Africa definitely deserve more attention, in this group as elsewhere. Thanks, Rowena!
I think I wasn't in the right head space for how lyrical Vera's writing is and I plan to give her another shot with The Stone Virgins or possibly Without a Name and Under the Tongue, though I couldn't say when.

Hi Lisa! When you do decide on a date, please let me know:)

Right back at ya, in case you beat me to it! 2015 hasn't even started yet and my list of reading commitments is looking scary.

I know what you mean!
