A modern South African romance novel. It is set in Soweto, a vibrant black township, as well as in Sandton, the latter being a symbol of affluence.

The novel follows Bantu, an advertising executive, and her husband, Mdu, an investment manager. Both work in Sandton but live in Soweto. Mdu wants to move the family to Sandton, believing it is where the rich belong. Bantu inherited the Soweto home, which is why she is skeptical of the move and its impact on their love and sex life.

Personal and professional conflicts are explored, and sometimes they merge.

Sleaze is one of the themes explored, as the skulduggery of modern love and business affairs is brought to the surface.
