Set in the fictional town of Gap Falls, where two young girls,
Louise van Rensburg and Faheema Majiet, have become best friends
despite their very different backgrounds. But cataclysmic events
far beyond South Africa’s borders (bombings on the London
Underground and an insensitive cartoon portrayal of the prophet
Mohammed) serve to drive a wedge between them. When their
respective families prohibit their friendship, they realise it is
up to them to find a way to restore their relationship and to
convince the adults of their deep emotional bond. The theme is
tolerance and seeing similarities and common grounds. This novel
was shortlisted for the MacMillan African Writers’ Prize. Jenny
Robson has won both South African and international awards (Sanlam,
M.E.R., Percy Fitzpatrick, UNESCO and Noma Honourable Mention).
