PAWA'S BOOK OF THE WEEK ( Week 40, Fourth Edition)
FRAGILE RIGHTS by Frederick Bobor James from Sierra Leone is a Play on the values and challenges of family life.
In the book, Frederick James depicted Njabu as a devoted wife and mother who regularly drives through the evening rush-hour traffic jam to pick up her two daughters from the neighbour's house, take them home, and cook for her husband.
Each day, Tom looks forward to coming home to a freshly cooked meal prepared by Njabu and sharing folk stories with their daughters.
And then one day Njabu runs into a college mate who is now a household name. Their reunion lasts only a few minutes, but things begin to change.
Can Tom cope with Njabu's new interest? How do they resolve the growing resentment, betrayal and ultimate infidelity?
A powerfully insightful play, FRAGILE RIGHTS creates a strong emotional connection to everyday life that lasts long after the play ends.
The book is available on Amazon.com
