Gloria Bosman: Tranquility
by Javier AQ Ortiz
Gloria Bosman's Tranquility hark back to a hike through passages in the Maluti mountains in Lesotho, the Mountain Kingdom, or Kingdom in the Sky, whereupon one encounters the endangered Lekhala kharatsa, also known in Afrikaans as Kroonaalwyn or Spiral Aloe.
