Interesting book... by an author who lives in Kenya! its a story about race, about love, and family.It broke my heart towards the end. the author is obviously talented. she weaves herself a story and gives the protagonist character in spite of their racial differences...
The book broke my heart towards the end.. but then again which book doesn't....Its portrayal on love was a bit unrealistic. Germaine and Martin's marriage seemed so ideal to a fault...
