4.0

My husband bought this book for me for Christmas, along with An Elegy for Easterby by the same author, as he thought I would find them interesting.
I am not normally a fan of short stories, as I like something to get my teeth into, but these are unusual in that many of the stories reference each other.
My husband was right and I found these tales of the nature of the relationship between crime and justice in modern Zimbabwe fascinating. In turns dark, sad, touching, humourous, tragic and thought provoking, the characters stay with you. I am really looking forward to reading An Elegy for Easterby.
