A review by library_ann
When Morning Comes by Arushi Raina

2.0

I never really liked any of the characters, except maybe Mina. I was put off at the beginning by the privileged white boys sneaking into the black club in blackface. I never bought that Jack had real feelings for Zanele. I never really felt like he was part of his society, and that for him Zanele was an exotic distraction.

I know that in youth you make and break friendships and alliances so much more quickly. But it felt like Mina and Zanele joined up in their activism without hardly discussing it out loud.

This was just not my type of book. It moved too slowly, and then at the end Jack was dead (?) offscreen with hardly a mention.
