I've shifted my April nomination here.
Would anyone else (I think John & Carolien expressed an interest) like to read Country of My Skull: Guilt, Sorrow, and the Limits of Forgiveness in the New South Africa next?

I'm in for April with you, Lisa. Hope you can make it too, Carolien. Looking forward.

Yup, need to source it first but excited.

I'm in as well. I have a copy and it's a reread for me, but I would like to see how my perspective changed in the 10 odd years since I originally read it.

Great, Carolien! It'll be a shame if more don't join us. Antjie Krog is a wonderful poet, and she brings that beauty to her prose. The subject matter is compelling.

Can we start after the Easter weekend? I have some assignments due and my youngest daughter is planning an epic Easter party.

Tuesday 7th? Fine with me.

That's great. Good luck with the assignments.
