Many
weeks go by until she is able to
see the doctor because she is
always too far back in the long
queue and turned away.
When
she finally sees the white lady
doctor some tests are carried
out and she is sympathetically
told she has HIV. But she has
only had sex with her husband on
his rare trips home and so she
know she needs to inform him so
he too can be tested. Her
husband is angry at first at the
suggestion but when he too
becomes sick he comes home to
die.
A
school is being set up nearby
and Beauty is due to start the
following summer and Yesterday's
one remaining hope is that she
will live long enough to see her
daughter start school.
Is
It Any Good? It is a good solid
and focussed story which is well
told and acted which gives you
an eye-opening slice of life
into what would seem like a
completely different world to
many watching - but underneath
the cultural differences it
demonstrates that love and local
community spirit is not that
different in other parts of the
world.
