Soweto, Under the Apricot Tree by Niq Mhlongo

2.5

This collection asks the question, if the apricot trees of Soweto could talk, what stories would they tell? And I've come away from this book thinking, I guess they would tell depressing stories. Bleak vignettes with very little hope or silver linings. Beautiful cover, but I'm bummed out by its contents.
