When Morning Comes by Arushi Raina
3.0
Although this book was one that I was happy to read as the topic was one I found interesting, I must admit that the way in which this book was written was confusing at best. There are four main characters, whose points of view you jump between with no sense of rhyme or reason with nothing but a name to divided them, and for this reason it was one that I found extremely hard to finish and I was worried I may never be able to complete it.
The book itself is about the apartheid and the realism of what it was like, which is the sole reason why I chose to add the book to my collection, that being said I would have preferred it if the jumps between each of the characters was much longer (giving us time to familiarise ourselves with each one and their side of the story, maybe increasing it to a chapter jump) or at least one that was more defined in terms of logic or time skips.
That being said I know that this is the first book written by the author and considering the topic as well as how well it was written overall, with a few tweaks I do think it is going to be a book that should be considered a must-have on everyone's shelf.
