Fionnáin started reading The Bride Price by Buchi Emecheta
This has been on my list for years, since reading another of Emecheta's books. I got a copy from the library recently but it turne out to be an 'Oxford Reader's Copy' with the language very simplified and the story made more central.
While I support increasing reader access to literature, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with reducing the artistic complexity of an author like Buchi Emecheta. But that's maybe a debate worth having. In any case, I didn't enjoy it, so sent it back and got this edition with the original text instead.
