Description

Every city has an unspoken side. Cape Town, between the postcard mountain and sea, has its own shadow-side lurking in its lap: a place of dislocation and uncertainty, dependence and desperation, destruction and survival, gangsters, pimps, pedophiles, hunger, hope and moments of happiness. This book is an extraordinary and unsparing account of coming of age on the street in Cape Town - a place of dislocation and uncertainty, desperation with glimpses of happiness. This novel won the coveted Commonwealth Writer's Prize.
