And They Didn't Die (Women Writing Africa) par Lauretta Ngcobo

This is a book about a dark period in South African history. I read it during post election violence in Kenya, Feb. 2008. Somehow the rural South African women in this book gave me hope and courage. The author weaves historical truth with engaging characters.
