A Little Book of Words

TITLE: A Little Book of Words
AUTHOR: Erika Hauptmann
REVIEWER: Gail Gilbride 
In this beautiful collection, Erika Hauptmann draws us into her heartfelt stories and poems, all presented with the lightest of touches.
 A quiet wisdom threads through the texts, which are surreal at times, tender at others and even brutal when need be. 
Hauptmann has lived all over the world and the USA, Tunisia, Ghana, Gabon, India and last but not least, South Africa, make an appearance in many of the tales,

The themes are varied and include an exploration of grief, rivalry, mystery and love. The author catapults us into the terror of childhood air-raids on Germany and then invites us to join an Equatorial African ritual.
Hauptmann presents us with life lived on a global level and all the textures that brings to the experience. I found myself dipping into one or two every evening, before I finally switched off the bedside light. Readers will be on the lookout for her next offering. I’ll be the first in the queue!  
 Gail Gilbride, is the author of Under the African Sun.  ​
