A review by mspilesofpaper
Elephant Song by Wilbur Smith
Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.
Aside from the overwhelming preaching writing style and the blatant racism (Africans are corrupt, incompetent, primitive; Asians are deceitful, thieves and thrive on murder): I do not need to read about the rape of two young girls (8 and 10) to such extent or about the rape of their mother. Or how their brother (4) was murdered.
It is vile and I feel sick now.
Concerning the racism: of course the white British man who's conveniently attractive and couldn't touch another woman after his beloved white wife died will safe the day. I bet that every woman that will appear on-page (and is alive when doing so) will get the sexism treatment.

Graphic: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Child death, Gore, Racism, Rape, Murder, and Colonisation
