Africa’s Unfinished Symphony 23
Africa’s Unfinished
Symphony
By Lucia Mann
A Witch Doctor's Power and His Ancient Tribal Ways Cruelly
Collide with the Force and Authority of Modern Africa.
While the tale of South Africa in the wake of World War II is
riveting, violent, and cruel, it also is brimming with stories of
kindness, compassion, and courage. Africa's Unfinished
Symphony highlights commanding characters who not only
bring haunting racial clashes to life but also convey the intense
conflicts that existed between archaic customs and modern
influences. You will be captivated as you follow the convoluted
path of Farida of the ancients battling to become Bertha of the
modern world. But are the outcomes of her struggles the best
results for her and her beloved Africa? This book will immerse
you in historic African themes that will jolt you out of
complacency and into compassion.
