When eight year old Rosalinde collides with apartheid in the summer of 1982, her entire belief system is thrown into chaos and the infrastructure of her world begins to decay.⠀
Set over two decades, Rosalinde’s tumultuous story moves between atmospheric locations like the Skeleton Coast, Karoo, Cape Point, and KwaMashu, and hosts an array of vivid characters, including Mohini, her mystical Hindu maid, the charismatic Paris and his radical cousin Maleven; Mark, the ex-soldier; and Rosalinde’s two uncles — the wealthy, but austere Uncle Jericho, and the predatory, racist Uncle Léon. ⠀
While navigating personal injustice, family sagas, romance, and political unrest, Rosalinde’s coming-of-age parallels the years of apartheid’s climactic end, against an increasingly violent backdrop, and she learns that the human condition of her motherland is far more complex than she ever imagined.
