Book Review: “This Thing Called the Future”

Life is not easy for Khosi Zulu, a South African teenager who is living in poverty and the aftermath of a conflict. She and her immobilized family barely manage to cope with what little they have, and it gets worse when supernatural Zulu traditions add strain to their day-to-day life. Khosi dares to poke at the flaws of her present time, and in doing so, hopes for a better future. With this hope, she learns to take chances and overcome the effects of poverty, AIDS, alcoholism and more.
