"Morojele is an extraordinary writer. He has a poet’s eye for detail and a gift for bringing characters vividly to life. In a novel teeming with memorable misfits and survivors, the most startling creature of all is ‘Mota’s Ghost’, which is sure to haunt the reader long after the book has been closed." Ivan Vladislavic
