Maru‚ the well-written and revered novel by Bessie Head‚ is primarily concerned with two themes: that of love‚ and prejudice. Set in the rural and unforgiving village of Dilepe‚ Maru sets about exploring the ability of people to love others‚ despite their palpable differences. Moving in a circular sequence‚ the story begins at the end of the novel‚ where readers are introduced to the main characters‚ Maru (who gives the novel its title) and Margaret‚ his new wife. Thereafter‚ the story moves back
