Description: "This is the story of Shumikazi, the only surviving child of Jojo and Miseka. She grows up in a small village nestling among the rolling hills of the Eastern Cape during the days of white rule - from the outside, an apparently unremarkable life. And yet Shumi is marked for extraordinary things from the moment of her birth. But then she faces an unspeakable betrayal that changes everything. ... A powerful  meditation on the vulnerability of women, it is also a series of overlapping love stories - above all, the love a father has for his daughter."--Back cover.
