Pink Gins Under A Mango Tree
by Joanne Van Driessen
Pink gins under a mango tree.
🌻
Thank you so much for the review copy @pegasuspublishers
🌻
Set during the colonial days in Africa, this book was a much needed light-hearted read. The book is small consisting of only 81 pages which I managed to finish well within an hour. Sylvie, a woman from Northeastern London moves to Ghana to join her husband, Rudi. The author then talks about the dramas and tantrums of a middle class family.
🌻
Post moving to Africa, Sylvie finds herself surrounded by exotic people and culture as she sits back and enjoys a lavish lifestyle. What initially looks like Paradise soon turns into a nightmare as Sylvie unveils the masks of those around her including her own husband. When a visit to her doctor turns out to be an outrageous one as he proceeds to perform an abortion without her consent, and the unfair treatment of her husband towards her, makes her realise the plasticity of her life.
🌻
This book is beautiful in its own way and is a perfect example of how short books still leave an impact on the readers' mind. If you're looking for something sharp and witty then go for it :)
🌻
I would rate this book 5/5.
