Ama Ata Aidoo
This collection of short stories sees Ama Ata Aidoo, one of Africa’s leading feminist and postcolonial writers, exercise the powerful effect of oral storytelling in her moving tales of shifting identities and the paradoxes of womanhood.
Written with vibrant candour and tenacity, No Sweetness Here tackles the challenges of postcolonial Ghana, with topics ranging from the politics of wigs to the fragile joy of motherhood.
In this collection, tradition struggles against modernisation, convention against liberation and all the while, Aidoo invites the reader to confront life’s injustices with her characteristic humour and poise.
'Even at her gravest, Aidoo writes with a sunny charm.' New York Times

Even at her gravest, Aidoo writes with a sunny charm
Aidoo's particular understanding of inter-generational relationships and crisp dialogue give a clear and uncompromising portrayal of cross-cultural barriers (Charlotte H. Bruner)
A subtle criticism that cuts as sharply as a razor. There is not a single dull story in the eleven
Beautifully written
