Book

The weather in Svångemåla has gone back to ”normal” after a long dry spell before Midsummer. Normal means a little bit of sunshine, some rain, lots of clouds, around 18 C and gusty winds. I don’t mind since rainy weather gives me time to sit or lay down in the sofa with a good book as my companion.

I have just finished one that I can recommend to all who are interested in other countries and cultures. It is written by Unity Dow, who is the first female High Court Judge in Botswana and a well-known human rights activist. The title is “Far and Beyon” (yes, it is spelt that way) and it gives a fantastic insight into the lives and thinking of a young girl in rural Botswana. Powerful and sad, but still with a lot of hope. I just love it.
