Sarudzayi Chifamba-Barnes on "A Disappointing Truth" !!

Renowned author and respected, Independent Publisher and Founder of Lion Press Limited, Sarudzayi Chifamba- Barnes, posted the following review at Amazon.co.uk

"This is a very good book written by a Zimbabwean woman, who, as a woman, has elevated the social ladder of women writers in African literature that is currently dominated by men. She is not writing about the ordinary social issues like most Zimbabwean authors do, such as the wife-cheating and wife beating themes, political and socio-economic hardships. Hers is a compelling to read, romance-cum-adventure book blended with the history of Zimbabwe. Sarudzai has indeed transformed the literature of Zimbabwe and is certainly a writer to look out for. Her book makes a good present to buy for someone who loves reading, and certainly someone who is not lazy to read. Once you start reading it, you don't want to put it down. But it's voluminous (more than 700 pages) so it's a good weekend book,when one is relaxed. Even the cover, too, is smashing.It does not give away what is to follow in the story. It's classic. "

Esther Chikurunhe on A Disappointing Truth !!!

Medical professional, avid reader and devoted mother, Esther Chikurunhe, has given her take on the experiences she has had with 'A Disappointing Truth - the novel. Esther's wonderful review can be seen below and has also been posted on reader and writers website, www.shelfari.com

"A DISAPPOINTING TRUTH" - No other title would befit this beautifully written book, a very engaging and fast paced story that tell the tragic events in Sarah's life. A book that you find it extremely hard to put down even it is well past your bed time, you just have to know what happens next. This is one of the books that l regretted having finished reading, though the last two chapters l read with a tear in my eye, but then l asked myself, "...tears of joy? or what? l desperately wanted Sarah to know the truth, but then the truth hurts. However, the last person who she had in her life, was the person who had opened another page in her life that she did not know, a page in her life that made it possible for Sarah to forgive, forget and move on. Joseph. Charity's conversation with Sarah on pages 306-307 had an impact on Sarah's life, even though she drifted away for a while, those words were like an arrow to her heart and she remembered them, as shown by the way she forgave them all despite of all that she went through, and it was because of Joseph that Sarah had walked through the doors of that building in Finchley.
Well done Saru.
I would urge you all to read this marvellous read!!!!”
