I was wrapped up in this intriguing story from the first page. I love it when an author tells it like it truly is when it's required. Eve Rabi is one of the best at it so you'd better have a thick skin and buckle up because it's going to be a bumpy ride. Tanin, a 21yo South African of Indian descent, is a waitress at one of the country's best restaurants. She considers herself to be well educated, hardworking and average looking. Tarago is one of the wealthiest, handsomest and most bigoted of the country's racial oppressors. He owns the restaurant and whatever and whomever else he wants. He decides he wants Tanin. She has nothing for the oppressors and wants no part of him. When Tarago can't have what he wants the craziness begins as he uses his power and money to get it. Unfortunately, Tanin's pride pushes her over the edge right in the hole he's dug for her. She is at the crossroads and Tanin has no choice but to sell her soul and become his. The reader morphs into the story and becomes an intrinsic part of Tanin. You are empathetic to her plights. You are sensitive to her what she feels. This story is extremely well told.
