This book was a disappointment a muddle of themes and ideas that did not come together for me as a whole. The author chose unrelated topical issues: such as the Saartjie Baartman repatriation, breakdown of a marriage, death of a child, professional dissatisfaction, violence against women and mundanity of raising a small child. It is well written and the imagery is good but the story line is confused.
There is much I could say about this novel, but it is probably best if I don't.
It is fun, it is sharp, it is intelligent and it has an underlying thread that is part of the building pf the New South Africa. Great, rather easy read, and at least it makes you think and not in the usual defensive, apologist or aggro lines
I enjoyed the local colour and the Fish Hoek setting. The novel is very new South Africa, and takes an unexpected black, dramatic turn four fifths of the way through the story. An easy read, that packs a nasty, surprise punch.
Not badly written, but absolutely unpleasant, horrifying subject matter. Didn't enjoy this at all. The 3rd star is only because it's local and well done, but so horrible.
I've been waiting for this book for ages, and it was well worth it. A worthy read. This book is difficult to put into words, so I give you the link to a review: http://www.litnet.co.za/Article/home-...
