What a good idea it was to give teachers books to read for homework. If I hadn't had to read Beverley Naidoo’s book, The Other Side of Truth, to join in the discussion I would have given it a miss.
I'm so glad I read it.
It’s an important book that brought to my awareness some of the harsh realities, indignities and inhumanity faced by people who in desperate circumstances infringe immigration rules.
Reading the book has reminded me of one crucial aspect of the power of reading. It’s the power to become informed. When writers are as talented as Beverley Naidoo, they have the power to change the world and we can help by making sure as many people as possible read the book.
I will definitely recommend The Other Side of Truth to others.
