The sun will soon shine by Sally Sadie singhateh

A Gambian girl forced into early marriage and female genital mutilation finds her way out through education and refuses to let it be the end of her story. Nyima grows up in a village where her future is already mapped out — childhood, mutilation, marriage to a much older man, motherhood, and silence. The novel opens with her as an adult watching her daughter struggle to learn to read, all the frame Singhateh needs to pull the reader back into how that life unfolded. At barely a hundred pages, it packs in FGM, child marriage, rejection, depression, and eventual reinvention through education — none of it feeling rushed because Nyima is so precisely and sympathetically drawn. A key text on West African women's literature.
