Review # 1 was written on 2017-05-03 00:00:00 Matthew Barton As a history student, I usually love reading old letters, but I found this collection rather dull for the most part. It had its moments, but they were few and far between to the extent that the rest of the text did not feel worthwhile. I'm sure there is more historical significance to be found in the way that Lily and Dr. Palmer relate to one another as a black girl and an educated white woman in apartheid South Africa, but I didn't feel like I picked up much from it. Also, the title feels a bit misleading: the correspondence in this book is very much between and about Lily and Dr. Palmer; Makhanya is more of a side character. Kind of interesting, but mostly just okay.
