Book Reviews of Ancestor Stones
Book Review: A vision of storytelling in womens voices
Summary: 5 Stars
A great novel shows much and leaves more for the mind to unwind. Ancestor Stones does just that. I finished the last pages with tears on my face and questions left unanswered.
The bits of story left untold about the war and the safety of family members (Adama and her soon to be born child heading into the forbidden forests for example) serve to make this a stronger novel. I enjoy the fact that Forna leaves me with living stories, not cast off unnoteworthy letters and diaries as she puts it.
I will read her memoir and await further writing from Forna. The life stories she holds are vivid.
