Review:
Distinctive and engaging * AnOther * Harrowing and vital . . . I read it in one sitting. * London Review Bookshop Summer Picks * Slices straight to the heart, deft and clean. * Laura Jane Williams, author of Becoming * Tackles more than many books twice its length. . . The pages are raw. This is the best kind of political novel . . . [its] turns of emotion are virtuosic. The novel dances from slapstick to stabbing pain to tentative hope. Matlwa's voice is one we need. * Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, author of Harmless Like You * Heart-wrenching * Grazia *
