Confession of the lioness

Women's oppression and mystical lionesses that haunt and hunt a village in Mozambique. It's a fragmented poetic tale told from 2 perspectives. The focused solitude of the hunter, and the forced solitude of the violated and silenced girl, both finding an escape in the power of words.

I liked this for it's magical realism that left a lot of ambiguities. It could have been a bit more linear in the narration timeline and a bit less mystical with its words, but I can also blame my easy audiobook-distractibility.
