This book really exemplifies the strength and courage of Grace to commit to her job whilst being true to herself and those she supports when doing her job leads her to a dangerous situation.

This powerful book tells the story of Grace, a newly qualified lawyer, and a case that everyone initially wants her to abandon- that of Bessy, a young gay kid who has been arrested for 'homosexuality' and brutally treated by the police. Grace's story, and her journey into her power is gripping and the social structures and nuances of practicing law at this time, in this place are really fascinating.

After Wilbess (Bessie) is arrested, Grace a novice lawyer is assigned to the case has to fight corruption and injustice to uncover the truth.

This book was so good. I haven’t read many books set in Zambia so this was an enlightening read. It was interesting to note how similar African countries are because the same issues plague West African countries. The pacing was perfect and kept me spellbound.

Definitely recommended 💯

Grace Zulu may be a young lawyer without much experience, but she has more than enough moxie to make up for it. Which is why she decides to take on the case of a young sex worker accused of acting against the laws of nature.

Since sexual identity is one of the most taboo subjects in Africa, including Zambia, Grace puts herself in the crosshairs of traditionalists by taking on this case. And when her terrified client goes missing, Grace knows she's in the fight of her life.

This fast-paced legal thriller tackles issues of corruption, prejudice and hypocrisy head on, painting a vivid picture of Zambia in the 1990s. Worth reading. It gets 3.5 stars.
