@Regranned from @joburgreview - 'It’s refreshing for a teenage girl to be portrayed as something other than lovelorn and naïve. Eve is not passively slipping towards the point of no return, she is bounding towards it, eyes open and reddened with self-hate, at times listless with despondency or raw with pure nihilism.' In our new edition link in bio." I travel to the dirty and dangerous streets of Mauritius with Ananda Devi’s Eve Out of Her Ruins and write about @hilton.als ' "The Women" and island living. #books #book #reading #read #bookstagram #africanliterature #africa #joburgreview #thejrb #bookreviews #newbooks #mauritius #travel #feminism #islandlife #islandliterature #womenwriters #anandadevi #francophone - #regrann

I'm no longer prone to regret. That would mean wasting precious time when I could be living.
