Twelve Tribes of Hattie

[Peasie]

novel by Ayana Mathis.

So I got in on Kindle and started reading it with relish. It's a little heavy-duty and kinda formulaic and, so far, I am disappointed

Anybody else reading it?

[CeaBee]

oh is an oprah book club selection....lots of good reviews too

anyway look under the buying information thingamig...u see where it says "send a free sample of this book to your kindle" or something like that.

last night i read this short story that i got for free (but look like freeness done) about this african guy getting used to living in the US. It was funny. I see that all the other chapters cost money tho'....instead a him package the whole thing and sell it as one book

I do not come to you by chance wasn't bad.

A deeply moving debut novel set amid the perilous world of Nigerian email scams, I Do Not Come to You by Chance tells the story of one young man and the family who loves him.Being the opera of the family, Kingsley Ibe is entitled to certain privileges--a piece of meat in his egusi soup, a party to celebrate his graduation from university. As first son, he has responsibilities, too. But times are bad in Nigeria, and life is hard. Unable to find work, Kingsley cannot take on the duty of training his younger siblings, nor can he provide his parents with financial peace in their retirement. And then there is Ola. Dear, sweet Ola, the sugar in Kingsley's tea. It does not seem to matter that he loves her deeply; he cannot afford her bride price.
It hasn't always been like this. For much of his young life, Kingsley believed that education was everything, that through wisdom, all things were possible. Now he worries that without a "long-leg"--someone who knows someone who can help him--his degrees will do nothing but adorn the walls of his parents' low-rent house. And when a tragedy befalls his family, Kingsley learns the hardest lesson of all: education may be the language of success in Nigeria, but it's money that does the talking.

the other one look like it too sad and me not in the mood to read it

Now I'm reading this one

The Hairdresser of Harare" is first of all a human interest story centred on one young woman's determination to look after herself and her young daughter in current day Zimbabwe. On top of her daily struggle to get by, she has to confront unexpected challenges that call into question her self-confidence, her relationships and, most importantly, her world view. All that makes the book a very engaging and meaningful read. Her situation and background are very convincingly captured and can be interpreted easily as an excellent illustration of the struggle many young women face in Harare, in Zimbabwe, and elsewhere in Africa. Yet, there is more to the novel. Set against the difficult political, economic and societal conditions in the country, Huchu very effectively weaves his astute social commentary into the intimate account of Vimbai, without overwhelming the reader or slowing down the emerging drama that will take Vimbai completely by surprise. Love and loyalties are challenged and Vimbai will have to face the consequences of her actions. Huchu succeeds in bringing his range of characters to life and, above all, he creates an authentic voice with Vimbai.

The Joys of Motherhood is great, I have read it several times, I wouldn't say it was feel good but a good book. I think I have read all the authors works, I am a fan and this book is my fave of hers.

Thanks, but I have the old school kindle no borrowing on it, at least not that I know of. I have a hardcopy of the book, I read it back in college, I have had it for a while.

I can do the lending thing online at amazon.com (manage kindle..and then when the list of books come up..there's a button called *actions* next to each book. I don't see that option on the kindle itself.

I think that even with the old kindle you should be able to lend or borrow a book..if u want to borrow one of the ones that i have, we can try it.

*wonda what she thanking me for..unless she is pz alter ego ..

[Peasie]

Ooh. We can borrow?? I have to play with this Kindle some more to figure it out.

Yay! Thanks Seemiyah. When I finish Hattie's 12 Tribes, I will take you up on your offer.
