For a story that takes place in the span of 12 hours, the author managed to cover a lot of ground. While I thought the passing of Nelson Mandela would fit more heavily into the plot, it was an interesting piece of SA history to add to the tension. Using many local voices to narrate the day, Melrose expertly captures the complexity and intensity of Joburg. Great writing, ok story but would recommend and try another by this author. #BorrowNotBuy
