YEFON: The Red Necklace
May 9, 2014
THE PERFECT GIFT FOR MOM:MOTHER'S DAY 2014
Inspired by African historical fiction writers like Chimamanda Adichie and the late Chinua Achebe, "Yefon: The Red Necklace", is a book with an important message, coupled with with strong female characters who survive great tragedy and overcome seemingly impossible obstacles in order to break down barriers and make their mark in the world. This gripping novel begins in early 1950 Northwest Cameroon at a time where the women were not given the same opportunities for education as their male counterparts.
Yefon, a a name meaning “Mother of the King', is the main character who finds herself in the unprecedented position of wanting a life outside of the roles dedicated to women in her village. She yearns to be educated.
“I wrote this book for the Nelson Mandela's of our communities who are willing to stand up for change and people who are oppressed or suppressed from fulfilling their life's purpose�, says Author FonDufe. “This is very close to my heart because education for women is something that has plagued the world for a very long time. When I saw this problem firsthand, I knew I had to write about it. Yefon is not just a story, its a movement to create awareness about the woman's right to have the world at her fingertips through the opportunity to be educated�.
Yefon promises to be a wonderful benchmark for new writing from Cameroon that can compete with writing produced anywhere in the world. Ms. FonDufe is the product of a new brand of upcoming African writers emerging to carry the torch of African Literature and committed to changing the paradigm of how it is viewed around the world.
What better gift for mom that such a book, which will educate, inspire and entertain her?
The book is available for only $16.95 on Amazon:
Enjoy!
Until next time!
