A house servant wonders what independence means in a country where indoor plumbing is still reserved for bosses. A brother tracks down his runaway sister only to find she has become a prostitute. In the title story, a bitter divorce turns tragic when the couples only child dies of a snake bite.In these and other stories, tradition wrestles with new urban influences as Africans try to sort out their identity in a changing culture, and even at her gravest, Miss Aidoo writes with a sunny charm (The New York Times).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51325988012320,"sku":"NEW1558611193","price":15.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/816DRDVEuHL.jpg?v=1773160073","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/no-sweetness-here-and-other-stories-1558611193","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
