This was a very emotional experience and I enjoyed the writing a lot. It’s a wonderful coming of age tale that doesn’t shy away from working through the terrible challenges that life throws at us. Plus, the way that SA history is weaved into this narrative is unlike anything I’ve ever read before, so it was a beautiful new experience.
