Now, I was quite willing to contend that there were a number of things wrong with the novel, that it had failed in a number of places, but I had not quite imagined that it had failed at achieving something called African authenticity.
Bem, eu estava completamente disposta a afirmar que havia uma série de coisas erradas com o romance, que ele havia falhado em vários lugares. Mas eu nunca teria imaginado que ele havia falhado em alcançar alguma coisa chamada autenticidade africana.
