Should she report to her parents, or should she keep quiet? Should she confront him? All her life, Naledi has been in awe of Basi, her charming and outgoing older brother. They've shared their childhood, with its jokes and secrets, the alliances and stories about the community. Having reached thirteen, she is preparing to go to the school dance. Then she sees Basi commit an act that violates everything she believes about him. How will she live her life now? This coming-of-age novel brings together many social issues, peculiar not only to South Africa but elsewhere as well, in the modern world: class and race, young love and physical desire, homosexuality. In beautiful, lyrical, and intimate prose, Molope shows the dilemmas facing a young woman as she attempts to find her place in a new, multiracial, and dynamic nation emerging into the world after more than a century of racist colonialism. A world now dominated by men. There are no simple answers."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 1 $a Young adult fiction. 941 $a 6 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017022453.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629013931.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909052602.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20190423014618.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20190320010753.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20180905024802.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C1771F26B0D211E8923D894D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
