What I'm reading now. I'm about through a quarter of it thus far. Not as difficult and traumatic a read as I expected, but heavyhearted . A book like this compells you to try to imagine the sort of lives some people have lived through and in eras of unfathomable sentiments. This book is about the lonely world of a South African girl that was biologically born to white apartheid-supporting Afrikaans parents, but who's skin was significantly darker than those of her white parents and siblings. It tells of the trauma she suffered throughout her life as a result where she was bounced back and forth, being classified and re-classified as "colored" vs. white, etc. Some tough shtuff I tell you.
I'll post a proper review when I'm almost through. But so far I recommend. Get a copy and let's have a banter about it.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm actually a regular on your blog too. Your views on women I find interesting for a Nigerian man. Breath of fresh air? :-)
