Interesting Women by Andrea Lee

Interesting Women

Andrea Lee

The predominately African/American heroines and their international search for love is the uniting theme of these witty and perceptive stories. The backgrounds, from Italy to Africa to the American South in the sixties, are as vivid as the characters. A real treat for lovers of life and short stories.

Extract
