This is a finely woven tale with a magical sense of place, atmosphere and character, set in 1950s South Africa during the time of apartheid's most stringent race laws. Arriving in South Africa from India, shy Miriam and her unapproachable husband seek a better life in Delhof for their children. They set up a general store in a remote area, and soon Miriam is wrapped up in a mundane existence without a smile, without much pleasure and love, except for that of her children.Meanwhile, fiercely independent Amina is determined to break with tradition and not marry for the sake of her family's name. She runs her own businesses with a gentle and wise Coloured man, Jacob, and often clashes with the local police. When Miriam and Amina's paths cross in the gossip-ridden and scandal prone Indian community of Pretoria, events are set in motion that will put Miriam on a path of personal awakening that leads to an eventual confrontation with her dogmatic husband.Shamim Sarif, born in the UK, and of South African decent, won the Betty Trask Award and Pendleton May First Novel Award with this glowing debut. Although the book begins slowly, Sarif has proven herself adept at patiently layering a complex narrative with vivid characters and subtle plot twists. She has a rare gift of bringing alive sensuous undertones and the intricacies of body language in her narration. I was a bit puzzled by her Afrikaans characters' strange use of Ja all the time, but let's not fuss about peculiarities. Definitely a book I would recommend and an author who has convinced me to pick up an even better second book, Despite the Falling Snow

This is one of my favourite books and, in my opinion, Shamim Sarif's best. Set in 1950's South Africa, it looks at the issues facing friendships and relationships under apartheid. Unusually, it looks at this with regards to black people, white people, and those who fitted into neither category such as Indians and those with mixed race backgrounds.The main story is centred around the blossoming relationship of Miriam and Amina, but the other characters in the story all have complex relationships which highlight the issues of the time. What sets this book apart, for me, is the atmosphere Sarif creates. The attention to detail and beauty means that this world which I previously knew very little about, suddenly becomes completely accessible.A wonderful story which I recommend to everyone!

This is one of those books that you'll have trouble putting down. It's very engaging.The characters are seriously well written an you have a deep insight into their thoughts and perception of the world around them changing with the start of the apartheid. There's a crescendo to the whole atmosphere of the story that just keeps the reader wanting to know more of what's to follow.I did find the ending to be a bit abrupt given the flow of the previous narrative, but the whole picture and development of the characters' emotional strength explains it rather well.You'll enjoy reading this book.
