Romeo and Juliet in Apartheid

Revisado: 12-11-17

Would you listen to The Zebra Affaire again? Why?

I read the story and then listened to the audio.No matter how you experience the story, you pick up something you missed each time.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the conflict between the main character's emotional connection and the separation demanded by political and societal norms.

What does Dennis Kleinman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrator's rich sonorous tones add depth and complexity to the descriptive language and the historical context of the story. This is something the casual reader might miss, especially if they were intent on focusing on the plot.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

The narration was too lengthy for one sitting. The narrator's voice was soothing and easy to listen to, but I needed a break.

Any additional comments?

Overall, this book is extremely well-written and the language is vivid and poetic. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the effects of apartheid at a very human level.
