Born in apartheid South Africa, Shereen Pandit became a lawyer, lecturer, political activist and trade unionist. In 1986, with her home country in turmoil, she was forced into political exile in the UK. There she completed a PhD in law, continued her activism and began writing. Her writing has been widely published in the UK and elsewhere. It has been translated into various languages, awarded several prizes and been shortlisted for others as well as performed and broadcast on National Public Radio in the USA. Her work is widely used in European and other secondary schools. Most recent publications include Lockdown: One Hundred Days That Changed My World (memoir), Waiting for Fidel in the Springtime (short story collection) and Trafalgar, The Golden Years, edited together with her brother. She is currently working on a memoir about the women in her family and preparing a second short story collection for publication.
After a lifetime of political activism in South Africa, Yazz thinks she's finally content with her quiet London life. She doesn't expect the reappearance of Lily, the best friend and comrade who betrayed her. Nor does she expect Lily's demand: to help her find a child long dead in a township fire. Reluctant to open old wounds, Yazz refuses to indulge her treacherous friend's tragic fantasy, but can't stop herself being increasingly drawn into the tangled web of her old world. As the past begins to bleed into her new life and her allegiances are torn, Yazz realises that all she holds dear is once again at stake.
