African stories are unique in nature and can never be told enough which is why it is important for local authors to tell stories about their surroundings. This particular book is written by Botswana author Moteane Melamu who displays a high command of the English language fit for a professor.
Children of the Twilight is a collection of short stories that revolve around poor people living in shanty towns and simply trying to ends meet. Melamu’s descriptive imagery combined with slang makes for an exciting read.
From a drunkard husband who mysteriously loses his money on Fridays, after getting paid, when his wife enquires about it. To a black young man who finds himself in trouble when he sleeps with a white woman in the Apartheid era.
