When I started reading, the storyline seemed like Yvonne Maphosa's, The Y in YOUR Man Is Silent. I kept thinking I've read the book before and soon learned that there's a twist. This is an amazing thick read, a page turner. I am happy that the other main character, Anelisa, the Xhosa wife, was not portrayed as uncouth, as is the stereotype regarding Xhosa woman.
The love amongst the sisters' wives and their extended families is beautiful .
