It was not an easy task for me to read the novel due to the complexity of the topic and the content, but after reading it, I am able to say that the novel is an excellent depiction of the sufferers, culprits, and doubtful heroes of the system of a failing government. It is a psychological thriller that focuses on two main characters; Joanne, a reporter, and Lena. The author has endeavored to depict the main social problem of the society of South Africa, apartheid, and in my view, he has done his job well. Lena is a social activist who is banned by the authorities to carry any activities. Joanne and Lena become friends, and then the story goes on.The novel depicts the apartheid movement very well, and has signified roles of many characters of the society. The mystery remains about whether the feelings of brotherhood and love be strong enough to establish and sustain a peaceful environment.
