HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT?


Have you ever thought about it – that each time we are in this month of September, you can hear a distant echo of the title This September Sun ((2009, AmaBooks), which is of a novel by award-winning Zimbabwean writer Bryony Rheam?  It does happen to readers that certain book titles have their own memorable rebounds, which just emerge from the mental archive in such anniversary-like manner. And, at such moments, wherever you may be, comes the joy and desire of wanting to re-read the book!
