Set in Sierra Leone, West Africa, A Tale of Three Women is epic in scope, covering a span of 60 years and touching upon some of the country's most important historical events. Against this background, Eustace Palmer deftly weaves a story of three women who meet each other at a traditional sewing school but whose fortunes take widely different turns over the years. A Tale of Three Women is a story of friendship, class consciousness, betrayal, love and treachery, as well as a subtle exploration of Creole culture in Sierra Leone's Western region.
