White Dog Fell from the Sky by Eleanor Morse

5.0

Lovely and devastating. This novel touches on many things, but the main thread is about the evils of apartheid and considering any living creature “less than.” While the focus is obviously on South African apartheid, and the direct impact that has on one of the two main characters, the neighboring Botswana is not immune from criticism and the author draws subtle comparisons to its treatment of the San people and its treatment of the wildlife under its care. Still, there is a lot of love for Botswana in this book, for its wildlife and its people and for those who choose to live there and love it. A difficult but wonderful read.
