Ruby Red
In Ruby Winters' world, colour opens some doors and slams others shut. Her opulent Johannesburg neighbourhood is a far cry from the streets of Soweto where anger and hatred simmer under the surface. Ruby can't resist the blue-eyed Afrikaans boy who brings her the exciting rush of first love, but whose presence brings hushed whispers and disapproving glances. She might not see race, colour or creed—but it seems everybody else does. This dazzling novel will entrance teenage and adult readers alike.

Während mich The Hate U Give mit seinen Beschreibungen der heutigen Zustände wütend gemacht hat, hat es Linzi Glass mit ihrem Buch zustande gebracht, dass ich mehrfach dachte, ich würde demnächst in Tränen ausbrechen.
Und das bei mir, die ich so weit vom Wasser entfernt gebaut bin, dass ich selbiges kaum zu Gesicht bekomme. Ergo, das will etwas bedeuten.
In "Die Farben der Freundschaft" kommen jene zu Wort, die ihr eigenes Leben und dasjenige ihrer Liebsten riskieren, um anderen Menschen zu helfen. Jene, die alles aufgeben, um für das zu kämpfen, was richtig ist.
Zwischen den Erzählzeiten der genannten Bücher liegen ca. 40 Jahre. Wie weit sind wir seither gekommen?
