Unmaking Grace by Barbara Boswell
Graces perfect life in Cape Town is undone when her childhood sweetheart unexpectedly reappears after disappearing during an anti-apartheid police riot a decade earlier.
"The novel creates drama while confronting intersecting systemic oppressions and intergenerational trauma by foregrounding its characters' needs, wants, wounds, and aspirationsThe prose is taut with both clarity and complexity. A smart, compassionate portrayal of one woman's quest to end the cycle of violence." —Kirkus Reviews
