The whole exotic and lively culture of the Cape Coloured community, when apartheid threatened its destruction, is seen through the sharp yet loving eyes of 11-year old Lily. The story of her past - and future - unfolds as her beautiful but angry mother returns to Cape Town, determined to fight for justice for her family. This prize-winning first novel is a genuine and moving tribute to a richly individual community.
