Beautifula stories by Peggy Oppong
Her brow was beaded with sweat and her heart was thumping furiously with fear as she watched the gunman standing in front of her, with only a desk separating them. Mabena felt trapped and her night caller knew it.
“Female tiger,” he spat out the words, “you’ve overstepped your boundary this time around.
Bang! Bang! The loud blast rang out in succession and Mabena fell. She miraculously survives the gunshot wounds but hatred for her continues to escalate till it culminates in a grand scheme by her enemies to silence her forever. “I’m the woman people love to hate,” is how Mabena describes herself.
Laali loves to smile and help people in her village. Everyone loves Laali but only few people have ever heard her voice. The older people of the village call her ‘the silent one’ because she can neither hear nor speak. When two men conspire to kill the king, Laali discovers the plot and exposes them. Everyone is puzzled and wonders how she did it.
In _A Private Experience,? a medical student hides from a violent riot with a poor Muslim woman whose dignity and faith force her to confront the realities and fears she?s been pushing away. In _Tomorrow is Too Far,? a woman unlocks the devastating secret that surrounds her brother?s death. The young mother at the center of _Imitation? finds her comfortable life in Philadelphia threatened when she learns that her husband has moved his mistress into their Lagos home. And the title story depicts the choking loneliness of a Nigerian girl who moves to an America that turns out to be nothing like the country she expected; though falling in love brings her desires nearly within reach, a death in her homeland forces her to reexamine them.
