520    La 4e de couv. indique : "Written by award-winning African
       novelist Mariama Ba and translated from the original 
       French, So Long a Letter has been recognized as one of 
       Africa's 100 Best Books of the 20th Century. The brief 
       narrative, written as an extended letter, is a sequence of
       reminiscences-some wistful, some bitter-recounted by 
       recently widowed Senegalese school teacher Ramatoulaye 
       Fall. Addressed to a lifelong friend, Aissatou, it is a 
       record of Ramatoulaye's emotional struggle for survival 
       after her husband betrayed their marriage by taking a 
       second wife. This semi-autobiographical account is a 
       perceptive testimony to the plight of educated and 
       articulate Muslim women. Angered by the traditions that 
       allow polygyny, they inhabit a social milieu dominated by 
       attitudes and values that deny them status equal to men. 
       Ramatoulaye hopes for a world where the best of old 
       customs and new freedom can be combined. Considered a 
       classic of contemporary African women's literature, So 
       Long a Letter is a must-read for anyone interested in 
       African literature and the passage from colonialism to 
       modernism in a Muslim country."
