Living, Loving, and Lying Awake at Night
Living, Loving, and Lying Awake at Night | Sindiwe Magona
2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
Magona's collection of superb short stories brings a full range of South African women's experience brilliantly to light. From the village mother leaving her children to work to the maid in service to the white madam, the stories are at once tragic, triumphant, humorous, and sharp, but above all forcefully empowering.

This collection of linked/related short stories focuses on the lives and experiences of Black women in South Africa during apartheid. Both heartbreaking and heartwarming, these stories give a voice to women who were often silenced.

Today‘s #30daysofreadathon prompt was “short stories” so here‘s a bunch of collections from my TBR shelves. (I could have just taken a picture of my Best American Short Stories stack but what‘s the fun of something already in one convenient location? 😂)
