Child of the River by Irma Joubert

4.0

I won a copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway. This South African novel spans WWII all the way to the late 1960s. It's characterized as a romance, but encompasses so much more from fantastic character development, history, and justice during apartheid. I thoroughly enjoyed this read though it fell just shy of 5 stars for me only because the writing felt choppy at times, most likely do to it being translated into english.
