Thanks to the nice people at Jonathan Cape for sending On Black Sisters' Street to Bookbag. Unigwe has considerable talent at bringing characters to life and has given us a glimpse into a hidden world. It was a pleasure to read Unigwe's fresh and distinctive voice.
For further reading, [[The Blue Notebook by James A Levine]] is the harrowing story of a 15-year-old prostitute on Mumbai's notorious Street of Cages and makes a fascinating contrast to On Black Sisters' Street. You might appreciate [[Thirty Days by Annelies Verbeke]] but we had our reservations.
