Book Review: An African History of Africa
The uncomplicated writing and interesting subject matter had me wishing that the book was longer, so don’t let its size daunt you!
Book Review: The Vaster Wilds
This story was utterly captivating! I was steadily drawn into the Girl’s story of human grit, set in the unforgiving American wilderness.
Book Review: Butcher and Blackbird
This book is a surprisingly fun read if you’re in the mood for some easy banter, dark comedy and a sweet romance.
Book Review: Thunderhead
The story follows a wealthy suburban mother. Her erudite, unhinged self-realisation was so relatable, and her singular voice is unforgettable.
