About the book

A collection of Short stories exploring life, love, and racial tension in South Africa, particularly focusing on the clash between idyllic rural life and the harsh realities of apartheid, as seen in the title story where a white farmer reluctantly helps a Black employee navigate bureaucracy to bury his brother, revealing deep-seated hypocrisy and the devastating impact of segregation on ordinary people.
