Beware white women: a Dickensian masterpiece of modern Africa

Beware white women: a Dickensian masterpiece of modern Africa

There are many ways I could convince you to read this book. I could say it’s as good as any Dickens novel. I could say you’ll disappear inside the book’s perfectly wrought universe, never wishing to re-emerge. I could say the author writes with pitch-perfect lucidity, the characters are among the best ever realised on the page, and the themes cut like a razor to the very heart of history. All true.
