A woman balanced

on the thin tightrope,
of the unknown.

This book has parted the blinds widely in the morning sun, before starting the Tag Game! :)

Looks like it might be a very intriguing book. I hope you'll have a good time of it! ;)

Oh my - I got books! Not sure why, but thank you!

Matched up with challenges. Will be read in September as part of the ultimate and 666 challenges.

starting this match for plum's march reading challenge. Still don't know why it was on my wishlist - friend's recommendation maybe?

Now I know why it was on my wishlist - it had won an award!
rabck from HI77; set in the 1990's in Cape town, South Africa. Marion owns a travel agency…but hates to travel. It's after the apartheid and she hires a black woman. Between Brenda - the new girl and her father retreating into the past, Marion starts to find skeletons in the closet and an entire branch of the family that she never knew about. Playing in the light refers to a phrase where a light skinned colored chooses to "Play White" or Play in the Light" and turn away from all their family and friends to get the benefits of being white Afrikaans, which is better than colored or European. Quite a different view on race relations than the US history.

happy reading!

Thank you! I look forward to reading this!

I think this was on my wishlist from when I was preparing to travel to South Africa 4 years ago. (Why do I know it was 4 years? A photo just popped up on my FB memories.)

An interesting look into apartheid and "play whites" in South Africa. I found the topic of the novel interesting, but the style of writing, such as no use of direct speech, left me a bit separated from the action and I never fully engaged with any of it.

Book was just released released into the little free library today. Stay healthy!
