Grace

Grace

There’s nothing Grace doesn’t know something about: false statements, missions to kill, stolen kisses and
vicious deaths. The story initially comes across as a simple story of a small-town menace who leaves a
trail of gore in his wake, using anything from the Okapi to high-end explosives. But then a brainwave hits
as one thumbs through the pages that the only simple thing about this tale is the reading of it. This is as a
result of the flawless wordsmithery of Maruping Phepheng, which gives this work all the twists and turns
that are the hallmark of a great novel. Acts of crime, deceit, greed and glimpses of compassion unfold
under the sleepy but watchful eyes of Grace and her little ones.  The choice of narrator is a stroke of
genius!
