What Members Thought
It took me awhile to realize that this story wasn’t actually about what I thought it was about, something that actually worked in favour of the story Couto was trying to tell. The author’s note at the beginning and a brief look at the dust cover made me expect man-eating lions, a village terrorized and the expedition to stop them. And I guess all those things were present, but what the story was really about was the aftermath of war and abuse, silence and terror. And wow, did it make an impact.
