A review by carlyque
A Treacherous Paradise, by Henning Mankell

4.0

Very much enjoyed this book. Was irritated by the main character's callousness, which seemed to derive more from a lack of awareness of self than anything (also annoying.) Her turn to anti-racism was a bit pc, and yet made more sense--I ended up enjoying her displacement, the masquerade of the brothel, the themes of violence, racism, and gender. Not quite done sensitively, but with an unusual path. (not sure about that monkey Carlos though).
