234pp., paperback, Cape Town, 2018

Bhekisisa Mncube's memoir. Includes an interview with the author by Stephanie Saville, Deputy Editor at The Witness newspaper.

"The book goes beyond being a narrative of forbidden love. It’s a potent alchemy, a swirling together of matters that are the hallmark of serious literature: good and evil, sex, love, friendship, morality, happiness and suffering, heroes and villains ... and, of course, the old South African chestnuts – race and identity." Fred Khumalo
