Dr. Chika Unigwe’s “On Black Sisters’ Street” Book Club
On Black Sisters’ Street tells the haunting story of four very different women who have left their African homeland for the riches of Europe—and who are thrown together by bad luck and big dreams into a sisterhood that will change their lives. Raw, vivid, unforgettable, and inspired by a powerful oral storytelling tradition, this novel illuminates the dream of the West—and that dream’s illusion and annihilation—as seen through African eyes. It is a story of courage, unity, and hope, of women’s friendships and of bonds that, once forged, cannot be broken. “Powerful….The author’s raw voice, unflinching eye for detail, facility for creating a complex narrative, and affection for her characters make this a must read."
