Maru by Bessie Head
5.0
My local library had an original hard back cover in storage. I absolutely loved this book and I’m intrigued to learn / read more about Bessie Head.
In this story you have 4 main characters. Throughout the story, racism and sexism are prevalent; however, the females are strong characters.
Reading these topics so openly was pretty affronting. A lot has changed in 51 years but a lot remains the same.
If you can get your hands on this book , please read it.
