Those Who Live in Cages, by Terry-Ann Adams

This novel captures an astonishingly intimate view of life in Eldorado Park, a coloured township south of Johannesburg, through five women - Bertha, Kaylynn, Laverne, Janice and Raquel. These unforgettable characters' lives intersect as they attempt to do the most important thing: survive another day in 'The Park'.

This is a poignant story about family, friendship, identity and the many ways one can play the hand that life deals.
