In apartheid South Africa, free-spirited young Amina has broken all the rules of her own conventional community by running a café.

When she meets Miriam, a young traditional wife and mother, their unexpected attraction turns their world upside down.

Critic reviews

"I read The World Unseen at a gulp, so entrancing is it's style, so complete it's tale of love and betrayal, and so accurate it's depiction of the physical, social and political scene...." ( Johannesburg Star, book of the week)
