That event makes it clear why she feels the need to betray him years later. Du Toit’s accent reflects the novel’s South African setting. You can hear young Naledi’s coy grins as she details her sheltered family life, which includes running a general store, going to private schools, and living in the glow of the bright star that is her brother Basi. Toxic masculinity lurks behind the coming-of-age antics, subtly revealing the many ways it damages women. free audiosync title 2022 (6.5+ hrs) teen/adult fiction - rape culture in South Africa (TW: sexual agression and violence, rape, victim-shaming, racism); excellent narration by South African storyteller Jacqui Du Toit. follows a young girl/woman from age 8 into adulthood as she learns about men and relationships, and how often women become victims while her family also deals with the pervasive racism of South African culture. This story felt really real; I kept double-checking to see that it was a novel and not a memoir. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"What does a teenage girl do when she sees her beloved older brother commit a horrific crime? Should she report to her parents, or should she keep quiet? Should she confront him? All her life, Naledi has been in awe of Basi, her charming and outgoing older brother. They've shared their childhood, with its jokes and secrets, the alliances and stories about the community. Having reached thirteen, she is preparing to go to the school dance. Then she sees Basi commit an act that violates everything she believes about him. How will she live her life now? This coming-of-age novel brings together many social issues, peculiar not only to South Africa but elsewhere as well, in the modern world: class and race, young love and physical desire, homosexuality. In beautiful, lyrical, and intimate prose, Molope shows the dilemmas facing a young woman as she attempts to find her place in a new, multiracial, and dynamic nation emerging into the world after more than a century of racist colonialism. A world now dominated by men. There are no simple answers."--Provided by publisher. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
