If You Want to Make God Laugh by Bianca Marais
4.0
This book is set outside of Johannesburg in the 1990’s post-apartheid, about 3 separate women who are brought together as they are each going through difficult times. The book hits many deep topics - racism, HIV/AIDS, religion, homophobia to name a few.
The author really gets you to know and either love/hate each of the three main characters. The story is sad at times, and at other times full of hope.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. It was chosen as part of a book club and I’m not sure I would have read it otherwise, but really glad I did. I also do love the cover of the book and some of you know I hate when a book doesn’t have a nice cover!
