The story is set in Natal at the turn of the 20th century , when
Sita and her family arrive from India to build a new life in South
Africa, not suspecting what lies in store for them. Working as
indentured labourers on a sugar-cane plantation, life is hard – but
for Sita, it is also filled with the joys of growing up, first love
and the dawning of passion. Defying tradition, the young girl
becomes enmeshed in a forbidden love affair with Albert, the
English brother-in-law of the estate owner. Unwillingly at first,
Sita is forced into a marriage of her parents' choosing – but her
secret passion never dies… Years later, when she has settled into
marriage and motherhood, Albert returns, and Sita must grapple with
her feelings again. The Heart Has No Colour also delves into the
criminal underworld of turn-of-the-century Durban. Entwined in
Sita's story is the tale of Gopi, her older brother, who comes to
ruin in the seedy gambling dens of the big city. Sita's large,
loving, emotional family is portrayed in intimate detail. The story
traces their fortunes and misfortunes into the next generation,
when Geeta and Sita's children grow to adulthood, and each in their
own way reaps the consequences of their parents' actions.
