I liked this book a lot because I learned about apartheid and it had a lot of technique like ‘in medias res’ where she starts a lot of the chapters in the middle and you have to figure out what’s going on. It was a little predictable- I sort of guessed the whole ending by the middle of the book, so I would’ve been pleasantly surprised if it were a sad ending. I’m not trying to be morbid, but sometimes it makes the book so much more interesting! A happy simple ending takes away a little of the great technique in the rest of the book (at least in my eyes.)
I’m looking forward to reading more Jewish books like this though!
