Review
Well-paced, robust prose... put a face to the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS and provide a gripping and heart-wrenching reading experience.
The strong, respectful writing makes this crucial and broadly relevant story unfailingly human.

Starred review: A character whom readers come to care for and believe in, in spite of her almost impossible situation.--Kathleen Isaacs"School Library Journal" (07/01/2004)
Brings the despair, overwhelming poverty and the impact of AIDS/HIV to life... strength of human character when faced with adversity.--Anne Hatcher"Resource Links" (06/01/2004)
Film adaptation, winner of the Prix Francois Chalais
A searing book on an important subject... there is not a maudlin moment in the novel, just genuine grief and understanding as the epidemic assumes some of its many human faces. The strong, respectful writing makes this crucial and broadly relevant story unfailingly human.
