This is a powerfully, interwoven story about slavery with a large cast of characters in South Africa. The story is told by multiple points of view, and I'm a sucker for narratives that show just how differently people can perceive and react to the same event. As well, I've read books about slavery before, but they had always been about slavery in America, not South Africa, so it was interesting to note the differences.
