"Unforgettable study of life in Johannesburg in the late Seventies. Ruby's parents are activists; her father has ANC connections and her mother runs a gallery showcasing Soweto artists whose work expresses sentiments of protest ruthlessly suppressed by the authorities. Ruby's relationship with a township artist and an Afrikaans family provoke controversy and confusion in a world torn apart by apartheid. This is a powerful and involving story that lingered long in my mind."
