I have received a number of emails from people interested in buying this novel, at this point, the novel is not published. I am still in the revision process, but feel free to post comments if you have any questions. I'll also keep you updated on my novel.

I don't know any other story being set on the background of the cultural encounter between China and Africa: Jennifer's work would be the first one, as far as I know, to touch this topic.
I am doing research on the Chinese presence in Africa, hence my special interest in Seeds of Plenty. Sometimes, especially when when studying cultural-related phenomena, literary works can offer invaluable insights on small details or personal experiences that tend to be overlooked by researchers: with Jennifer's novel, people in the academia will soon have a new instrument to interpret the relationship between these two cultures.
