Wow, thank you so much to Rabbi Deborah Miller of the Jewish Book Council for this wonderful review of A Place For People Like Us. How amazing to get this on the date of the book's publication too.
“With her new novel, A Place for People Like Us, Danila Botha demonstrates her mastery in creating imperfect protagonists. While Hannah’s quest for self actualization and meaning acts as the books narrative anchor, each member of the supporting cast comes with a strong individual voice story and demand for attention.… A Place for People Like Us challenges readers to consider what it is to construct and reconstruct the self in a web of intricate interpersonal and societal relationships. Botha’s gift is in creating characters with whom the reader can empathize, and making them question which version of which character is the one who most deserves their support. Ultimately, A Place For People Like Us will hold up a mirror to the ways in which readers find their own place in the world.”
Thank you so so much. You can read the review in full here:
