I love amazing books like these. It assures you that you aren't wasting precious time on it. What's also attractive about the book is the lack of too many grammatical errors. Don't we all want to read books like that!

Great review. Enjoyed reading it!

This is honestly such a beautiful comment and I am 100% behind you on that. We all need peace and the only way to achieve that is to celebrate our differences.

It is. I feel that the best way to write is when you can get your reader to feel and think about ways to improve the real world.

Asavela wrote: 12 Jul 2018, 17:59 The book sounds so sad and as a South African i feel guilty for having witnessed xenophobia and did nothing. On the other hand iam totally against it and always teach people that we all brothers and sisters. Peace and love.
I'm also from SA and I remember the xenophobia attacks in Durban. I'm glad I never witnessed it but it was such an awful time and I remember how scared we all were. I love South Africa and I think you understand when I say that our country just has something wonderful about it. We are dealing with a lot but I hope and pray that we will succeed in loving one another because I love our damn country :lol2: SA has such wonderful people and I see a great future ahead. And you teaching people to love one another makes a huge difference. If every person passes on one good deed imagine how great the world would be? So carry on because all that love you are sending out will make a difference. I have no doubt about it.

We should celebrate our differences and unite as a human race. I wish it were that easy. Maybe we need aliens to teach us how. I remember watching "Independence Day," and getting goosebumps seeing all the viewers in the theater standing up to applaud the last scene.

The day we get rid of all our prejudices will truly be humanity's "Independence Day."

Thank you for your inspiring review.

Wow! A science fiction book that changes your life? That sounds like a must read to me! I love that it has the two story lines going at once. The isolated Malawi and first contact with the rest of the world. Sounds interesting. Thanks for the review.

This book outlines what happens on the ground due to xenophobia in a clear way. I cant wait to know what happens when to Doctor Elizabeth Bowell and her patients after loosing contact with the rest of the world due to the failing radio.

I don't know if it's because I live in South Africa and xenophobia attacks are so close to home, but this really touched my heart :lol2: I hope you decide to read it and that you love it as much as I did.

I must say, the lost contact with the rest of the world really upped the suspense for me. Hope you enjoy it! :tiphat:
