Book review: Basotho People At Work

Basotho People At Work
by Rene Paul Gosselin
The Highveld Press R350
This book is about the Basotho people of the kingdom of Lesotho: how they live, play and work amid the beautiful landscapes. They come across as hard- working and peace-loving.
The pages and pictures are well co-ordinated in their layout. Gosselin's skill shows in the way his subjects are relaxed as they go about their daily lives as he documents them; one can see that the photographer spent time with them, learning about their ways before documenting their lives.
The quality of the pictures is excellent. I especially liked the cover picture. More night scenes would have helped and the pages should have been numbered. - Bongiwe Mchunu
