"Behind the closed doors of their suburban Johannesburg home, Themba and Ayanda Hlatshwayo, both legal professionals, are beset by deep tensions that claw with relentless intensity at the polished facade of their lives. ... [The book] explores the origins of Themba's unease and confused sense of identity. ... As the story peels back the painful layers of recollection, Themba's domineering mother, Differentia, has a major decision to make. When developers set their sights on buying the family home ... tendrils of envy and greed begin to curl out of unexpected quarters, as the unscrupulous seek to grab a share of the spoils. ... [The book] is a powerful, poignant story of unexpressed longings which, when finally uttered, can no longer be contained."--Back cover.
