"The problems of having to provide a bride price are increased for Andreya when his parents are killed and he has to finance the education of his brothers. Sekani herself ends the deadlock when she wins a beauty competition and, flaunting tradition, pays her own bride price." -- A New Reader's Guide to African Literature, edited by Hans M. Zell et al., New York: Africana Publishing Company, 1983, 2nd ed., page 203.
"Tito Banda has a strong power of observation. The manner in which he recreates the differing attitudes of characters in different social classes, describes and builds the life style in divergent rural and urban atmospheres with their own language -- jargon or otherwise -- and how he paints the general scenery, demonstrate this ability." -- Zulani Lance Ngulube, Malawi News.
MALAWIAN WRITERS SERIES (POPULAR PUBLICATIONS)

Zell et al., New York: Africana Publishing Company, 1983, 2nd ed., page x.
