Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"Slovo...mixes conventional takes on big ideas--truth, justice, responsibility--with a breathless criminal investigation of a young man's death during apartheid....Well intended, but still less persuasively compelling than much nonfiction...."
Kirkus, 10/01/2001
Review:"Without an understanding of the [South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission's] mission..., it is difficult to make sense of the psychodrama that serves as the novel's centerpiece....Despite the cosmopolitanism of her black characters..., Slovo betrays a certain pessimism concerning the future of South Africa."
Mireille A. L. Djenno, Ruminator Review, Fall 2002
