The Story of the Cannibal Woman by Maryse Condé
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? N/A
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? N/A
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
3.0
Not my favourite Condé, even though it is in the vein of her other works where she tackles race, identity, womanhood, and intimate relationships, I find this lacked the sarcastic/acerbic wit and dark humour of the others I had read.
Moderate: Grief
Minor: Death, Homophobia, Infidelity, Racial slurs, Racism, Sexism, and Colonisation
