COMMENTS
This is a beautifully written one part piece set in South Africa. The way the story is written reminds me of classic novels such as "Things Fall Apart" or "Heart of Darkness". The story is told in about a span of a day, but the writing is so rich and vibrant that you instantly get a sense of the characters and setting.
I feel like this is the kind of story you need to read and re-read to get the true depth behind it and there would always be more to discover after reading it. The ending is also great and the story is uplifting.
This story is a quick read, but one that will make you think and question your own position in society.
