Literary Giveaway Blog Hop: June 25-29

Welcome to the Literary Giveaway Blog Hop.

The hop is hosted by Judith of Leeswammes’ Blog.  Over 70 blogs, between June 25th and June 29th, will participate in this giveaway bonanza.  Judith stipulates that giveaway items should be bookish in nature (of course). Additionally, if  one is offering a book, the book must have “some literary merit”.  Links to other participating blogs are listed at the end of the post.

I’m giving away a mostly new copy of A Cry for Winnie Mandela: A Novel by Njabulo S. Ndebele. It is one of my favorite books.  From my review of the book:

“The Cry of Winnie Mandela: A Novel (2003) is one of the most significant literary works written by an African in this new century. It is innovative in form, courageous in its subject matter, unsettling in its interrogation of South African society, and decidedly feminist and humanist in its outlook.

The author, Njabulo Ndebele, mixes fiction, fact, biography and speculation to tell the stories of five South African women in the first part of the novel. These women are presented as descendants of Penelope, who waited nineteen years for Odysseus to return home.”   Entire review is here.

  7. Hi kinna, I think I said on the original post that this intrigued me, still does, please enter me for a chance, also with the odyssey connection reminds me a bit of the epic poem Omeros by Derek Walcott.

  9. You mentioned this book on my blog and I’m keen to read it. I hope I win. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if I do though. My luck sucks at competitions:-) Just read your review and it’s certainly the sort of book I would read. Ticks all the boxes for me.

  11. Thank you for a wonderful giveaway! I wanted to share with you a giveaway on my blog:

    My mother has been sick and I never got around to signing up to participate in the Literary Giveaway Blog Hop. But I’ve started a monthly giveaway on my blog and I’ve got a June Giveaway going on this month at my blog, and I’d love to invite you to stop by and throw your name in the hat for Anna and the French Kiss! It’s a US giveaway only this month, but next month, I’ll be offering an international giveaway for a $25 Amazon card!
