About This Novel
Mrs. Curran, who lives alone in South Africa, was diagnosed with cancer and her life began to countdown. She wrote a letter to her daughter in the United States, telling her about the life she was going through and everything in her heart. She was talking like she was mumbling to herself. As a white intellectual woman, she was protected by the political system, but she witnessed with her own eyes the tragedies suffered by those around her due to the apartheid system. Faced with her own approaching death and the death of others caused by the sins of the system, she fell into deep powerlessness, anger, sadness and shame... In telling her daughter, she revealed another self, and also vented without reservation her questioning, spurring and reflection on herself and this era. Quotes from the book: "I don't know what freedom is, yet I know what unfreedom is." "I sometimes feel angry at people who have dirty hands - you have seen, a shameful anger, as stupid as the person who caused it - but I admit that, in a sense, they live in me too. So, when I am angry Curse them to death, and I wish death to myself. In the name of dignity. A dignity in an honest sense. "For all those who have been insulted and harmed, who have been trampled upon and ridiculed."

Senior's book! Middle Ages!
Develop productivity and drive away all the waste of the old era (Completed)
It's good to read. The author also has a book called "Nothing Sacred in Empire Returns". I encourage everyone to check it out on Baidu.
Travel into a different world, the Middle Ages, and low demons.
