About
This debut novel is all kinds of beautiful. It is a coming-if-age story written with prose of unfolding delight. But it isn't flowery. The writing is tight, with little treasures of description nested inside. The book is on quiet bravery. How just being who you are in public, which in this story is a Queer woman, can be both an act of courage and a form of protest. Because while in many areas of the world, LGBTQ+ rights are moving forward, other areas are far behind. Ximba's tale is set in a tricky place where parts of the community are moving forward where other are still clinging on to hate and inflicting trauma. A short read, written with fierce beauty." -- ?Sunday Times of South Africa
