![]() ![]() The thing about a book like the Sabi is that there is no plot, no storyline. It is just inevitable as one reads through. You laugh with her, cry with her, celebrate with her. She consumes you with her life story, has a way of capturing you in her moments. As a privileged but underprivileged child at the same time. She tells a story from a perspective of a child growing up watching and experiencing the system. “You may not be infected, but you are affected anyhow”. Diane reminds me of what is usually said of HIV about the apartheid system. We have read a lot about what happened in the 50’s all the way to the 90’s from people who were active in politics. ![]() The Sabi is an incredibly written book, easy to read, rich with South African history told by Diane as she saw South Africa for her generation while growing up. Having read it, I understand the urge I had inside. A month before exams, two books half read in my library, The Sabi though I just had to get. I scan though the recommendations carefully, sometimes ignore them because I am busy with another read or make a mental note for when I look again.īut for some reasons, I could not ignore The Sabi. Having followed ReadabookSA on Twitter, I come across many recommendations for Books. ![]()
