More news of Bryony Rheam's All Come to Dust


The UK cover of All Come to Dust

The Zimbabwe cover of All Come to Dust

Firstly, a Netgalley review of All Come to Dust:

'Initially assuming that All Come to Dust was a straightforward murder mystery, I was impressed to find that actually Rheam is doing something much more intricate and important here. Rather than a No 1 Ladies Detective Agency-style southern African romp of a mystery novel, All Come to Dust instead grapples with difficult issues of colonialism, racism, mental health and memory. The insights into the lives of the remaining white population of Zimbabwe were fascinating while clear-eyed: the reader is encouraged to sympathise with certain of them, but also reminded of their privilege. Highly recommended.'
