As the Crow Flies

"An illicit love affair that turns sour is the starting point in this exploration of the human heart. Veronique Tadjo weaves together a rich tapestry of voices to tell stories of parting and return, suffering, healing and desire." "Like a bird in flight, the reader travels across a borderless landscape composed of tales of everyday existence, news reports, allegories and ancestral myths, becoming aware in the course of the journey of the interconnection of individual lives. A new consciousness of the links between self and other, today's society and that of future generations is revealed as the key to creating a more just world and more understanding and fulfilling relationships, for 'love is a story that we never stop telling'."--BOOK JACKET.
