Noor has many stories to tell. His stories are not just about his life, they describe a way of life. He shares with us unique, never to be repeated experiences. We are told about his family, school days, life as a teenager, working at Reader’s Digest, New Year’s Eve, the Coon Carnival, Ramadaan, Babbie shops, favourite movies and cafes, who sang at the public washbaths, the burglary at Banks, the talented Abed Brothers, dancer Johaar Mosaval, Sandra MacGregor the artist, and lots more. Life in District Six combined all the elements of the human spirit. Noor tells us about love, friendship, humour and harmony, as well as hardship and suffering. In this charming book, Noor has captured, through his stories, the warmth of family and community that is the essence of Noor himself.
