I kind of don’t want to say more than that so that people can be surprised. It’s very sad but also contains a beautiful love story. This is a beautifully written book full of emotion set in South Africa in the 1990sish. I read some reviews that felt the characters were a bit one dimensional and the story a bit flat but I didn’t feel that at all, maybe partly because I listened to this on audiobook instead of reading it.Īnother novel I love love loved is Such a Lonely, Lovely Road by Kagiso Lesego Molope. This book has great characters, drama, and some romance too! It’s emotionally intense at times and definitely a content warning for folks of colour who aren’t up for reading about overt racism.
