Rehana Rossouw’s unique voice gives life and drama to this family
saga. It is the story of the Fourie family, residents of Hanover
Park in the Cape Flats during the height of the struggle era. The
main characters include Magda, the churchgoing mother, who doesn’t
see what’s going on in front of her; Neville, the concerned and
loving but not always effectual father; Suzette, the oldest
daughter, who is bound and determined to get away and make a better
life for herself via a career in modelling; Nicky, the smart and
sensitive middle child, who proves herself capable of making
unselfish choices; and Anthony, the naive and doomed son, who gets
caught up with a gang and meets a sad end. In What Will People Say
the setting is everything, and the author doesn’t stint on the
details of the world her characters inhabit. Readers who have never
set foot in Hanover Park will feel they are there, and those who
know the place will nod in recognition of the sensory details the
author loads into her writing. Nor does the author shy away from
the difficult issues faced by those living in this marginalised and
disadvantaged community, which came into being as a result of the
forced removals from Cape Town. How these issues affect the members
of a particular family and their relationships with one another are
the focus of the author’s close-up lens. Generously spiced with
Cape Flats slang; lots of vivid and gritty description that give an
authentic feel to the story; plenty of plot – the writer draws us
in and makes us curious about what will happen next; and very human
characters we come to care about.
