The plot is depressing, but sadly these things have been going on for a while. Just do a simple Google search and you will find a number of cases reports about fellow Nigerians who have sadly fallen into the honey trap, and end up as prostitutes across western Europe pleasuring European men to earn their keep. I am about half way through the book The author Chika Unigwe was actually in London in December as part of a book festival, and even read some pages from her book at the event (sadly I missed it though as it clashed with another event) I am actually reading this book right now.

I enjoyed everybit of it but must admit it had a sad plot. I felt connected to the women in a strange way. Will do a review of the book for my university newspaper so people can catch glimpse of the realities in the book. After all literature mirrors the society and the Zwartezusterstraat gives a bad reflection that we must all face up to - Life is unfair and Africans back home must get the message that life and living in Europe is not like the biblical Canaan land. It is real, as real as can be. Well written work. I enjoyed everybit of it but must admit it had a sad plot. I felt connected to the women in a strange way.
