Fiction, newly available from SPD. With the end of apartheid, a new constitution, and a new hope for the future of the country, ordinary South Africans pick up the threads of their day-to-day lives. In these stories, Karodia explores lives and relationships in the new South Africa from the perspectives of Indian, African, and European characters. The South African Review of Books says, Karodia has taken the writer's role to new heights in South Africa. Farida Karodia was born and raised in South Africa and now spends her time between there and Canada. She is author of DAUGHTERS OF THE TWILIGHT (a runner-up for the Fawcett Prize in England), COMING HOME AND OTHER STORIES, and A SHATTERING OF SILENCE. No library descriptions found.

I was admittedly struggling with this one for awhile. I can suspend my disbelief fine when I know a novel is going to have some fantastical elements, but when something is set in our world, I generally expect it to be plausible. As a character, Veronica evolves at such a pace, and accepts her life, in a way that I found to be really unrealistic. This aspect was grating on me quite a bit until I made myself take a step back and enjoy it for what it was – a light summery type of read. As long as I didn’t think too deeply about what was happening, I was entertained and enjoyed it.
