In Ruby Winters' world, colour opens some doors and slams others
shut. Her opulent Johannesburg neighbourhood is a far cry from the
streets of Soweto where anger and hatred simmer under the surface. Ruby
can’t resist the blue-eyed Afrikaans boy who brings her the exciting
rush of first love, but whose presence brings hushed whispers
and disapproving glances. She might not see race, colour or creed – but
it seems everybody else does. For Ruby, making some choices
means letting others go, and as the darkness begins to descend, she
must find a way to follow a brighter path... This dazzling novel will entrance teenage and adult readers alike.
Emily Iris looks forward to the times her
parents welcome house guests to their family's unhappy home. As long as
the visitors are there, her mother and father will put their quarrels
aside. But one spring a family of wanderers – an Australian couple and
their two boys – come to stay, starting a chain of events that will
shatter Emily's world forever.
