review 1: Really intriguing book. I love South African fiction...this is packed for such a short book. I think I would have preferred if she had used a different style, one more descriptive and more fully developed characters. But I know why she wrote it this way and definitely think it works for the story and what she is trying to communicate to the reader. Not my favorite style of novel though. I am excited to meet her and talk to her about the book!
review 2: I chose this book on a whim because it had an intriguing cover and the author was had received lots of awards. I learned next to nothing about South Africa (where the author grew up). It was a sad story and I never understood why the woman nicknamed Bill was making any of the choices she was. She fought when sh... moree should have reasoned and was passive when she should have fought back and ran away when she should have stayed. I felt sorry for her but couldn't help seeing that she chose money and comfort over love and family and her own conscience. less
