Interesting short novel about a Cape Verdean. I must definitely read more about contemporary life in the island republic, because I was a bit puzzled by the referrals to Portugal, and hardly any to the African continent.1.

Bingo for 2021 finished. With eight books (8) from South African born authors plus one more from Southern Africa. I will definitely have to explore further afield on the continent.
