Product Description
Monique Dembele saves lives and dispenses hope in a place where childbirth is a life-and-death matter. Her unquenchable passion to improve the lot of the women and children in her West African village is matched by her buoyant humour in the face of unhappy marriage and backbreaking work. This is the deeply compelling story of the rare friendship between a young development volunteer and this midwife who defies tradition and becomes - too early in her own life - a legend.

This review is from: Monique and the Mango Rains: An Extraordinary Story of Friendship in a Midwife's House in Mali (Paperback)
I read this in less than two days - I simply couldn't put it down! 'Monique & The Mango Rains' is absolutely breath-taking. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Africa or simply the struggles endured by women of other cultural backgrounds.

Monique and the Mango Rains,

This review is from: Monique and the Mango Rains (Kindle Edition)
This book is simply stunning, it paints such pictures of different places and people. I worried it would be too sad but it manages to balance life and death and a different culture's views perfectly. Masterfully written, highly recommended.

This review is from: Monique and the Mango Rains: An Extraordinary Story of Friendship in a Midwife's House in Mali (Paperback)
This is a fantastic read, one which will stay with you in between your reading sessions. It is a true story, which is still ongoing. I found it totally absorbing once I got into it, and really enjoyed it. Indeed, I think I will still be thinking about it in weeks to come. Some of the proceeds generated by the sale of the book go to helping Midwifery services in Mali. So indulge yourself, get a good book, and help others by doing so. You won't regret it.
