'Absolutely stunning.' - The Bookouture Team.'A richly told story, vivid and unique.' - The Booklife Prize. In Transitions, Eshile Mthembu navigates the emotional turmoil of friendship, love, loss, and responsibility as we join her on the second leg of her poignant coming-of-age journey. Although 1970s apartheid offers little freedom to choose her own path, the taste of rebellion’s success lingers and strengthens her determination to fight prejudice with her actions and words.When Eshile embraces a life-altering opportunity, she resolves many childhood and family issues, until an unimaginable tragedy turns her world upside down. Then she questions her faith and goals. The realities of growing up in South Africa force her to balance what her heart craves against what her ancestors require. The choices she makes shape the woman she becomes.Discover the power of one girl’s voice in a landscape of discrimination and oppression. Fans of Adichie’s 'Half of a Yellow Sun' and Kingsolver’s 'Demon Copperhead' are drawn to Spencer’s moving narrative of Eshile’s quest to find her place in a divided society. This provocative tale will stay with you long after you read the last page.Add a copy of Sticks in a Bundle: Transitions, Book II of the trilogy, to your reading list today!
