My Father's Bicycle

My father's bicycle & other stories by Eriata Oribhabor is a spider's web of stories that stand alone. With descriptive words spelling love, pride, wishes, resilience, strength and purity of the African tradition including emotive dislike, Mr Eriata tells stories of a man's love for his bicycle yet, his desire for his offspring's education tops his list of priorities, a woman heroine whose come back to her abode saves a life, a land called Kumalo built in peace and saved by its discontinuity and a grown man's strong dislike for a teasing insect.
