Coming from a similar background (and age) as the main character, Eve has done a fanstastic job of capturing the various cultures and even possible true life events of that time.Twenty years later, things have changed a lot.  It's a privilege to be able to openly express the pain and humiliation of the racism we were subjected to that genuinely existed. It was not only people of colour that suffered, there was no freedom of association. It must have been cathartic for the author to write this book.  It put things into perspective for me to see how far we have come since then. The characters, the location, the cultures and racism are all truly authentic.This is one of those books that I just could not put down once I started. I didn't give this one full stars because I've also read "My brother, my rival" which is equally addictive but written a bit better.  Eve is not afraid to go into dangerous territory with her books.  It is scandalous and I LOVE it!  All four books I've read was a roller coaster ride, from angst to tears to laugh-out-loud and "oh, no you didn't".Definitely one of my favorite authors and I can't wait to read her other 14 books.
