Bianca Marais is marvelous in person and in writing. This book revolves around 3 people whose lives intertwine, two sisters who seemingly don't agree on much of anything and a young black girl who live in apartheid South Africa. Th character development is precise. The story is riveting. Don't miss it.

pickDO NOT judge this book by its cover. It's crass and vulgar, has no likeable characters but is head shaking hilarious.
pickFantastic and personally painful. Drudged up vignettes from my early years as a woman. Cisneros says a lot through an unbelievable efficiency of words.
I grew up with Detroit in my mind. We followed the Detroit Tigers, my town was ruled by the auto industry, and of course there was Mo Town. My time.
