Lost in a Good Book

This book creates one of the bests milieus I have had the honor of stepping into. I was instantly caught up in a world of love, magic, mysticism, pain, and suffering. Though Schonstein takes time to introduce us to some interesting characters, the story, for me, is more interesting for the view of this South African community; a world where prostitutes, bakers, and various Angels walk casually into each others lives. I was grateful to have this book on a 12 hour plane ride.

Evocative poetry

This book is written in the most captivating, moving way. I was stuck into it from page one and had to start all over again when i reached the end. The intertwined lives of the characters are wonderful and each is interesting and touching. I was really impressed with this novel! Pure poetry
