Casey Golomski's *God's Waiting Room* offers a poignant exploration of race, aging, and healthcare in post-apartheid South Africa.

Through intimate conversations with residents and staff of an elderly care facility, the book unveils the complex interplay of ageism, sexism, and racism within the healthcare system.

The narrative structure, resembling a room-by-room tour, creates an immersive experience for the reader.
