Sarah's take

I adore "White Dog Fell from the Sky" for its poignant exploration of identity and the deep connections that form in times of turmoil. Alice's journey from a life of privilege to confronting the harsh realities of apartheid alongside Isaac is not only a testament to her strength but also a powerful reminder of the courage it takes to seek justice. This book is perfect for readers who appreciate intricate character development and the profound impact of personal choices amidst societal upheaval.
