Sinopsis
South Africa, 1980 Julia, an English teenager, moves to the small town of Pietermaritzburg during the height of apartheid. A few weeks after her arrival, during a school visit to Macrorie Mansion—a Victorian house with its own resident ghost—, Julia meets Andrew and Lungile in the most unexpected way. This chance encounter sparks a friendship between the three teenagers, one that defies the odds and profoundly shapes their lives over the years. The novel’s plot, centered on these three protagonists, offers a vivid portrait of the unsung individuals who resisted institutionalized racism —sometimes even as participants in the system— by wielding the quiet power of everyday actions.
