À propos de cet audio
It’s 1976 in South Africa, and four young people are living in Johannesburg and its black township, Soweto: Zanele, a black female student organizer; Meena, a South Asian girl working at her father's shop; Jack, an Oxford-bound white student; and Thabo, a teen-gang member, or tsotsi. From each of their points of view, this book explores the roots of the Soweto Uprising and the edifice of apartheid in a South Africa about to explode.
Introducing listeners to a remarkable young literary talent, When Morning Comes offers an impeccably researched and vivid snapshot of South African society on the eve of the uprising that changed it forever.

“The presentation of characters with different racial identities beautifully highlights how those identities shape the characters’ understandings and experiences… Readers who love the fast pace and high stakes of dystopian teen literature should snag this book. This timely reminder of the power and passion of young people contextualizes current student protests by honoring those of the past.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
“Raina’s story powerfully demonstrates the high stakes of the teenagers’ choices while maintaining a bracing pace that builds steady tension. Each character’s distinct voice contributes to a sense of imminent change… A riveting and accomplished debut.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
“The story is easily relatable for today’s teens. The narrative is spare and engaging, but it also unloads a wealth of information about the time and a vivid sense of the setting… An eye-opening view of a rarely covered time and place in YA literature, this title offers rich opportunities for discussion and classroom sharing.” (School Library Journal)

Entertaining, educational and powerful
I loved this story! As someone from South Africa, I found that this story provided a unique perspective on Apartheid and the Soweto uprising. I felt a strong connection to the characters, and found their different points of view educational and engaging. Highly recommend!
