Huchu deals with some difficult issues in this story novel, homophobia, misogyny, government corruption and racial tension. It gives some insight into Zimbabwean politics and society under Robert Mugabe that were fascinating but it didn't delve deeply into any of them. The plot was quite obvious and focusing more on the second half of the story would have made it feel less rushed and superficial. Still worth a read. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
