In our first instalment of Book Club, South African writer Zukiswa Wanner has been speaking to BBC Africa’s Audrey Brown about the books Headscarves and Hymens, by Egyptian journalist Mona Eltahawy, and Bound to Secrecy, by Liberian novelist Vamba Sherif. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03pf92k?ocid=socialflow_facebook

The first novel in English by Vamba Sherif, a Liberian novelist, is a twisting mystery about power and transparency. The curious events in Bound to Secrecy speak to the sources of power and secrecy, as intertwined with corruption. https://www.one.org/us/2016/03/02/10-african-novels-you-need-on-your-bookshelf
