I was excited when I saw this book and was able to get a copy. I really enjoy getting to read stories from places I haven’t been and get a glimpse into cultures I have never experienced. This book definitely painted what felt like a brutally honest picture of Zimbabwe and some of the struggles the people there have and I really liked that. I thought that the characters weren’t developed quite enough and I found it very confusing to figure out who was talking when. It took me a while to understand that all of the characters perspectives we saw related to the initial two prisoners sharing their experiences of how they ended up in the Zimbabwean prison they were in. I mostly understand where all of the pieces fit by the end, but I thought that with a little structure the story could have been so much more clear while still capturing the culture as well as it did.
