This book was quite interesting - Based in South Africa, the story combines two time periods - modern times and then back to the ancestral times of the tribal community in the story. There is magic realism in the stories, but not overdone which adds a lot of color. What I enjoyed the most was subtle hints of promoting local community initiatives as a sustainable solution to poverty. Sounds similar to an organization I know!
