This is a beautifully written memoir. The author grew up in South Africa and later moved to the United States so her memories encompass both countries. She wrestles with the sins of her father and the sins of her countries. I loved that she comes to a peace before she writes the book. She is not angry, but has found resolution in God. I don't always like memoirs because of how self focused they can be, but this one is not like that.
The writing style is really beautiful with excellent choices of language.
Worth reading.
Thank you to Net Galley and Convergent Books for my advance reader copy and the change to read this wonderful book.

Upon starting this book I only knew certain things about South Africa's past but this book brought me more into the heart breaking truth of the apartheid.

Honest and well written memoir about apartheid southbafreica which doesn’t hold anything back. Thanks for the arc

The title is so apt, I was left wearing many times while reading. As a person born and raised in Apartheid South Africa there were many stories that I lived through myself. Reading this has helped me to open my heart to forgiveness and is enabling me to move on. It's given me a different understanding of my parents, unfortunately they have died so I'm unable to hear their stories again.
