Summary
In a city that has lost its shimmer, Lindanathi and his two friends Ruan and Cecelia sell illegal pharmaceuticals while chasing their next high. Lindanathi, deeply troubled by his hand in his brother’s death, has turned his back on his family, until a message from home reminds him of a promise he made years before. When a puzzling masked man enters their lives, Lindanathi is faced with a decision: continue his life in Cape Town, or return to his family and to all he has left behind.

Critics Review
An extraordinary debut. Out of the unpromising subjects of HIV and substance abuse Ntshanga crafts a novel of devastating emotional power. Stylistically sophisticated and beautifully observed.
