A short, intense and profoundly moving debut novel about race, identity, sex and death – from one of the National Book Foundation’s 5 Under 35
Thandi is a black woman, but often mistaken for Hispanic or Asian.
She is American, but doesn’t feel as American as some of her friends.
She is South African, but doesn’t belong in South Africa either.
Her mother is dying.
