Rachel´s Random Resources: Salt&Honey by Candi Miller (Audiobook)

Audiobooks are my trustful companions for few years already, and after a relatively slow and cautious start, I am right now fully smitten. Currently, there is no genre that does not fit my pleasure of listening hence my chance to discover even more books, not only when I am at home or commuting, but also literally while walking (I used to walk AND read a book few years ago and was ok, somehow a more elegant - audio - way suits better my current image).

Hence, my pleasure of discovering South-African born Candi Miller´s series Koba, with Salt&Honey - I listened to on my Spotify account.

A survivor of a terrible tragedy, Koba is a hunter gatherer and transmitter of old traditions and customs. Her courage and determination aren´t valued though in the 1950s South Africa marked by apartheid, and the crisis is looming as she is falling for a white boy. Will she survive the social wildness with the same grace and luck once again.

I loved hearing the story which is very much suited for the audio experience. It allows the ambiance to unfold while placing the characters in their own timeframe. Both the details regarding Koba´s upbringing and the South African realities are important in understading the story. 

Overall, it is a very enjoyable yet insightful experience, and I am definitely interested in reading the rest of the series as well.

Rating: 4 stars
