Lydia
Gina is the Smaleses’ young daughter. Like her siblings, Gina adapts to the culture of July’s rural village and doesn’t seem to miss her family’s old life in Johannesburg all that much. She quickly becomes friends with Nyiko, one of the village girls. The ease with which the girls form a close bond highlights how readily the Smales children accept the culture of July’s people compared to Maureen and Bam.
