Mindofwinter | 3 comments Considered a classic, I read this in high school. There is a woman with a head wrap holding a child on the cover, which is brown. All I can remember is that the author was African and the word "Mother" was in the title. I read it along with Pearl Buck's The Good Earth, if that helps. Thanks in advance!

No " mother" in the title, but who knows...

No, but thanks! I think it is older than that. I would have read it circa 1986, and I think it was an established classic then.

Yes! Thank you! I am so happy to have "found" it again. It's going on the to-read-soon list right now.
