Go Tell the Sun - Wame Molefhes

WAME MOLEFHE's stories have a gentle unassuming yet intimate and captivating feel to them. Set in Botswana the stories trace the lives of characters whose paths cross and re-cross each others' some times in and through love at other times through tragedy. And through them the author brings to bear a woman's perspective on the societal mores in which ual abuse homophobia and AIDS among others flourish and spread. The social content and views are never proclaimed as a loud agenda; instead it forms a 'natural' backdrop to the lives of the characters something that may raise a wry comment or thought in one character while eliciting a mere shrug from another. Molefhe's voice is to some extent a world-weary voice weary of all she has seen of society's failures but never without the gentleness often absent and much needed in broken societies and never without the hope and redemption that can be found in love and the imagination.
