Book Description

January 1, 1997
Fiction, newly available from SPD. With the end of apartheid, a new constitution, and a new hope for the future of the country, ordinary South Africans pick up the threads of their day-to-day lives. In these stories, Karodia explores lives and relationships in the new South Africa from the perspectives of Indian, African, and European characters. The South African Review of Books says, Karodia has taken the writer's role to new heights in South Africa. Farida Karodia was born and raised in South Africa and now spends her time between there and Canada. She is author of DAUGHTERS OF THE TWILIGHT (a runner-up for the Fawcett Prize in England), COMING HOME AND OTHER STORIES, and A SHATTERING OF SILENCE.
