My Review (5 stars out of 5)
This is the follow up to book one, Salt and Honey, which saw the young lovers Koba and Mannie separated and thrown in jail. Mannie takes the chance of parole to abscond in the hope of finding Koba, but she is already in the process of being taken back to her former tribal home. Escorted by a policeman, Koba soon finds herself at the mercy of old enemy Andre, who blames her for the death of his father.
Like the first book, Kalahari Passage is beautifully written, its descriptions of the sights, sounds and environments that Koba finds herself in really bring the book alive. The language, too, is fascinating, although some of the dialects are probably better experienced in audiobook form to really appreciate them.
Candi Miller is a wonderfully gifted writer who has a genuine feel for her characters and their world. This is an enchanting, beautifully written and intoxicating book packed with action, danger and heartbreak.
