Books - Ouma's Autumn

R145.00 Incl Vat

‘All the stories that are deep, deep in my heart came from my Ouma. Every morning I sat with her on the stoep watching life in the road. We knew all the families in Harfield Village and everything that happened there. Our stoep was small and across two of its stone pillars grew thick bougainvillaea which always bloomed in deep, rich red flowers. Then one day the Group Areas Act came to the neighbourhood…and my dreams began to fall apart. This sad, funny story of a little girl and her Ouma is written around a unique collection of photographs of District Six and Harfield Village. It is a story of remembering and forgetting.'
