The African Woman

Tales of Eve is an entirely new form of expression for the African woman, offering her with a distinct voice with which she can finally speak of the place in which she finds herself in the society. In each story, you will meet her in different stages of life - childhood, adolescence, maturity, old age. She is constantly reborn with different backgrounds: wealth, poverty, education and illiteracy. You will discover her struggles, her triumphs; her failures, her victories; her mistakes and her restitutions; her wisdom, her folly; the depth of her hatred and the breadth of her love. Each story intimately explores social, psychological, cultural and even moral issues and the manner in which they are presented to our women.
