The Girl Who Can and Other Stories is Ama Ata Aidoo at her best. In fourteen largely humorous tales, the storyteller takes the reader on a thought-provoking journey into the world of competing ideas about life and living. Also central to the collection are the challenges and frustrations concerning further education, relationships, and sometimes even the imperative for parents to do the unthinkable in order to save children from danger and in extreme cases, threats to their lives. The heartwarming resonance in these stories is that despite all the odds, and at home or in goreign places, we pull through as humans. We are triumphant.
