Oh, I love this so much Steph!!!! You put into words all the feelings I have about books as a tool to educate and inspire people, and humanise history. Your book is also on my 'To Buy' list, what a wonderful thing to bring into the world!
Yaaay! This is so exciting, and such a lovely piece.
Sad note - apparently I can't write an Amazon review unless I've spent 50USD in the last 12 months :( So for all the other readers - write the review for those of us who can't! I'll stick mine on Goodreads instead :)
Yes! Yes! Yes! And thank you. As a South African, I feel like you have put words to a feeling I have had for years. I will be buying this for my son (he is still too young but I am already stocking up for the future) and spreading the news about this book. And I hope this is the first of many. South African history is so complex and emotive and often needs to be viewed from the “inside” of different narratives and characters.
