The Price of Peace: Stories from Africa

コニー、気をつけて。妹の目が怒ってる。口のまわりに急にできた皺を見てごらん。コニー、姉妹を持つってすばらしいことなんだよ。たとえそれが妹でも。「マーシー、誰とでかけるの？」コニーは答えを聞いたけど、それは聞きたい答えじゃなかった。姉妹の仲で、平和の代償とは何だろう？アフリカ人作家たちによる、アフリカ各国からの「ワールド・ストーリーズ」

Careful, Connie, please. Your little sister's eyes are looking angry. Look at the sudden lines around her mouth. Connie, a sister is a good thing. Even a younger sister. 'Mercy, who are you going out with?' Connie gets an answer to her question, but it is not the answer she wants to hear. And what is the price of peace between sisters? The stories in this volume of World Stories come from Sierra Leone, Malawi, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria, and are by African writers Abioseh Nicol, Ken Lipenga, Ama Ata Aidoo, Paul Tiyambe Zeleza, and Sefi Atta.
