Amazing read to show how settler occupation and colonialism effects people's trauma and power on both sides of apartheid. You see the ending coming but you are still shocked and devastated by its conclusion because it's a reality. One thing about this story that had me doing is a double take was the subtle full circle of events coming unfolding on the pages. Stories like this are essential!
