SemipreciousbyHenrietta Rose-InnesMy rating:4 of 5 starsBeautifully written short memoir piece from South Africa giving a glimpse into the reprecussions of apartheid. What do we think of the people who previously lived in our homes? Who were they? Why did they leave? As a child the writer sees Mr R's name on the wall of her home "still faintly visible under several coats of white paint" - as she grows up a "sickly realisation surfaced" and finally comes back to bite.ashramblings 4 * I'm not normally a memoir reader but I loved this pieceView all my reviewsashramblings
