Review: When the Ground is Hard by Malla Nunn

A stunning novel, set in Swaziland. Focusing on a Adele, a mixed race girl, it explores themes such as friendship, poverty, grief, and racism.

A wonderfully written perspective, with in-depth character descriptions and an easy-to-follow but thick enough plot.

Rating: 4/5

Thanks to Allen & Unwin, who provided this book to me at the Sydney Writer's Festival!
