Book Review: Cape Town: Up Close & Personal by Mia Feinstein
14 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Who would want this book? It appears to me the perfect book for Capetonians living far away from home. They will page through and go, “oh ya, check this, I used to live there.” “There’s my house.” ‘I use to go running right there.” It’s perfect for an expat’s coffee-table; they can say to their dinner guests, “While I go and baste the chicken, take a look at that book, it’s where I used to live.” And then wonder why they are basting a chicken in a small London flat instead of living in Cape Town.

Now simply extend my evidence to include all the people in between my two examples.
