As the Crow Flies is Veronique Tadjo’s evocative collection of short stories. Writing in exquisite, poetic prose, Veronique Tadjo weaves together a rich tapestry of characters, all nameless and faceless, as they tell their stories of parting and return, losing and gaining, suffering and healing. Like a bird in flight, Tadjo travels across a borderless landscape composed of tales of daily existence, news reports, allegories and ancestral myths, creating a lyrical and moving portrait of the interconnectedness of human life.
