the bone by Birago Diop

The bone is a really awesome story that is written by a French writer although the setting reminded me of more of a southern African type of family.  The story is about people who go out and make this awesome kill and then a man named Mor who takes the shin bone and gives it to his wife.  He tells his wife to cook the bone until its soft and the meat was falling off the bone.  His hut brother found out  about the bone and thought he should be allowed to have it to.  Mor did not want him to have any so he faked a sickness and then his death all because of  his greed.  the wife kept warning her husband that it was getting out of hand and that she was was going to loose him.  He told her to let him bury him.  After his death Awa was taken by Musa to be his wife, as soon as they got to the house he said, "Bring it ans lets make and end of it."
