Books - Skyline

R170.00 Incl Vat
A run-down block of flats in central Cape Town becomes a young girl’s gallery of self-discovery in the moving story of the emotional carnage caused by the civil wars in Africa. Drug dealers from Nigeria, Zimbabwean wire-workers, immigrants from Rwanda and Sudan, and Mozambican refugees - all escaping the ruins of war in the peace of the newly democratic South Africa - bear down on her fragile world, then scoop her into theirs. Skyline is an unflinching look at one girl’s coming of age in the colourful and violent streets of a city waking up to the rest of Africa.
