by Muthal Naidoo
A book of short stories, mainly about South African women, that looks at some of the complexities of life faced by women living in a society of diverse cultures. They are rooted in personal experience yet illuminate the social contexts in which they are embedded. These stories about political activists, domestic workers, rural mothers, and aging widows, are bound together by humour and sharp observation.
