Tears of Hope A Collection of Short Stories by Ugandan Rural Women Wangusa, Anne Ayeta

Tears of Hope is a collection of recorded experiences that reflect the pain and courage of Ugandan rural women. They talk about domestic violence, disingeritance and deprivation of widows and orphans, child custody, rape and defilement; tales that are only too common and accepted by society as a wonam's lot and, therefore, not worthy a second thought. However, these are experiences that many of us relate to or recognise. Told in simple but idiomatic language, the stories are poignant and sincere, and will not fail to arouse feelings of compassion, anger and outrage even in the heart of the most cynical reader.
