Debut novel by chef and restauranteur Saaleha Bhamjee.

"S.E. Bhamjee's emotionally charged, almost tactile language transforms this bildungsroman into a dextrous characterisation of a second generation Indian female Muslim experience of trauma and healing during some of Apartheid's most tumultuous uprisings." Saaleha Indrees Bamjee, author of ZIKR

Saaleha Bhamjee owns and bakes for Upcycled Café, Lazeeza’s Bakery and Origami Asian Food in Johannesburg.
