I enjoyed this in parts, but using anthropomorphised animals as the characters didn’t really work for me over the length of the book.

I so wanted to like this fable of modern day Africa. So much so that I slogged through the first 325 pages of meandering prose that used too many words, before I stumbled on an uplifting, that made it all worthwhile.

Hard for me to understand what was going on or really wrap my head around the characters and motifs. Maybe I’ll pick it back up one day.
