Aminatta Forna, whose moving and gorgeously written memoir garnered international attention, has seamlessly turned her hand to fiction in Ancestor Stones a powerful, sensuous novel that beautifully captures Africa's past century and her present, and the legacy that her daughters take with them wherever they live. Abie returns home from England to West Africa to visit her family after years of civil war, and to reclaim the family plantation, Kholifa Estates, formerly owned by her grandfather. There to meet her are her aunts: Asana, Mariama, Hawa, and Serah, and so begins her gathering of the family and the country's history through the tales of her aunts. Asana, lost twin and head wife's daughter. Hawa, motherless child and manipulator of her own misfortune. Mariama, who sees what lies beyond. And Serah, follower of a Western made dream. Set against the backdrop of a nation's descent into chaos, it is the take a family and four women's attempts to alter the course of their own destiny. A wonderful achievement recalling The God of Small Things and The Joy Luck Club, it establishes Aminatta Forna as a gifted novelist.Binding Type: Paperback

Love
The Dove body serums are amazing , I hope they never stop selling them. My skin feels and looks great since I’ve been using Dove beauty bars, cream serums and their body Deo. Great scents and great for my skin. This body serum is light has a very light floral scent and leaves my skin feeling great and like most Dove products at a great price. Time will tell if it helps to lighten dark spots, I’ll update my review in two weeks but for now… I love this stuff, my skin is super soft without heavy creams.

Gentle,hydrating,and helping even out my skin tone
I’ve been using this Dove Body Serum with niacinamide for just a few weeks, and I’m already noticing a visible improvement in my skin. During pregnancy, I developed some uneven skin tone and dark patches, and this has been helping my skin look more even and healthy. It feels lightweight, absorbs well, and keeps my skin soft and hydrated without feeling greasy. My skin already looks smoother and brighter, and I’m really happy with the results so far. Definitely a great body moisturizer if you’re looking for hydration plus gradual skin tone improvement.

Love love love!!
I LOVE this lotion. It's extremely lightweight, doesn't have a strong odor, and it's actually moisturizing! It's light enough to where I use it on my face as well and it doesn't feel greasy at all. No skin irritation or anything and I have sensitive skin. HIGHLY recommend.

Smoother skin in no time
I’ve been using it daily for a couple of weeks, and I really have noticed that my skin tone is more even. I had some dry patches and areas darkened by the sun, and they look much better now. It’s lightweight, but it provides good hydration all day long. For the price, I feel it’s well worth it.

Did not fade my dark spots.
This is an amazing moisturizer. I love how light and creamy it is. It goes on and absorbs well with a light fragrance. Only 4 stars because it did nothing at all for dark spots. While really sad about that I would buy again as I like it that much.
