Although readers might find parts of the book hard to digest (as I did) I found the anthropological perspectives of Hans to be unique accounts that preserve the moments as they occurred. Untouched and unfiltered memories of his life as Bushman and husband of a Bushwoman.
Though a lot can be brought forth for debate, I can’t help to love the beautiful experiences that are shared in this book and the lessons that are learned.
