Things that Cause Inappropriate Happiness reviewed in the Seaboard Review
Thank you so much to Ian Colford of The Seaboard Review for this incredibly generous and thoughtful review of my Guernica Editions collection Things that Cause Inappropriate Happiness 🧡📚I’m so honoured and I really appreciate it.
“Most of the characters in Danila Botha’s pulsating and often moving third collection of short fiction are young and seeking direction, and/ or meaning in a world offering a dizzying array of options… Botha’s stories tend to be short and briskly paced…some are snapshots representing a critical moment in a character’s life. Others despite their brevity, cover decades. Throughout the book, a theme emerges of the past reaching into the present, and making itself felt, either through the revelation of truths previously hidden or with a swelling of emotion as characters grope towards a new or clearer understanding of one another. In Things That Cause Inappropriate Happiness, Danila writes of the tenacity of the human heart, its battle to remain true to itself. This is a book brimming with raw emotion that touches the reader deeply” 💗💗📚 you can read it here:
