All Reviews - The Heavens May Fall
Write a review.

Dow is a diverting storyteller.  Her novel ... is full of incident and never drags, and it's a sign of Dow's talent that she can imbue her bleak material with the many colours of life in her native land. Cameron Woodhead, The Age
'Get hold of a copy of The Heavens May Fall...' 
Edward Tsumele, Sowetan, South Africa
'Naledi Chaba...does battle with the prejudice of a society in which "tradition" is the justification for abuse and exploitation...She knows what she is writing about and this is a compelling read.' 
Rob Hofmeyer, Citizen, South Africa
'...blisteringly powerful. Dow's account of the cross-examination of the child's grandfather, some 16 pages tight as a hawser - is absolutely gripping. Trial scenes after all are close to the core of what fiction and drama are all about (just think how often they are employed by that master of dialectics, Bertolt Brecht).' 
Chris Dunton, Sunday Independent, South Africa
'A dodgy judge, an up-and-coming female lawyer and a rape case involving a teenager and the family's lodger... All the ingredients for a tight thriller are here. Add to this the sights and smells of Botswana - complete with bogobe and tripe, home-cooked in a three-legged pot - and you have a winner...A surefire hit.' 
DRUM, South Africa
