Book Reviews of My Traitor's Heart: A South African Exile Returns to Face His Country, His Tribe, and His Conscience
Book Review: A book so intense it is difficult to believe it's true.
Summary: 5 Stars
I could not put this book down for a moment. This book was a truly shocking-at-times portrayal of the atrocities that occurred in South Africa in the '80s. It made me very emotional and some parts of it were very, very difficult to read because they were graphic, intense and very real. It made me feel so sad for the brutal history that has touched all South Africans, but this book also made me hopeful for their future. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know both sides of the sadness in SA.
