Central African Republic

C
Written By Simon Daley

Co-Wives, Co-Widows
by Adrienne Yabouza

This, the first book from the Central African Republic to be translated into English, is full of humour and sharp observation. Against a backdrop of judicial and political corruption and the clash of old and new in Bangui, the lives of the two main characters – two widows – collide in their fight for survival.
