Hortensia James and Marion Agostino are neighbours. One is black, one white. Both are successful women with impressive careers. Both have recently been widowed. And both are sworn enemies, sharing hedge and hostility and pruning both with a vim and zeal that belie the fact that they are over 80.
But one day an unforeseen event forces the women together. And gradually the bickering and sniping soften into lively debate, and from there into memories shared. But could these sparks of connection ever transform into friendship? Or is it too late to expect these two to change?

The story line needs rigorous editing.
There are too many plots and subplots.
The writing is descriptive but is extravagant. No noun is left without adjectives in profusion.
Most unsatisfactory

The audio narrator: Loved her, although I will say, the accent she gives Marion is like nothing I've heard before. Was it supposed to be someone who spoke Afrikaans as a first language and this is the accent when speaking English? I've heard South Africans speak and they don't sound this odd. But I went with it. If nothing else, it was quite interesting!
Probably deserves 5 stars instead of 4...

I've never been to South Africa, but as an African-American, I can so relate to experiencing the sting of racism....it's like walking around with thousands of paper cuts that then turn into festering wounds because there's no time to tend to the healing of one before being made to suffer another racist indignity. Racism is such a part of the fabric of this culture, as is most white people's massive denial of it and its impact. I applaud the author's capacity to write about this topic without being preachy by embedding painful truths about Apartheid in the life stories of ordinary people who represent the oppressed and the oppressing as well as their intersection.
Brilliant, Insightful, Lyrical!!!
