“Where would Jane be without that inheritance from her long-lost uncle? If she was in Swaziland, I'll tell you where she'd be: living in a grass hut with nothing to eat but porridge. A blind and crippled husband. No running water. No money for school fees. No happy ending.”
― Malla Nunn, When the Ground Is Hard
