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.

Those Who Live In Cages, by Terry-Ann Adams

It appears as though the author set out to give voice to some long-silent voices. The novel appears to be purposefully excluding the voices of the males in the town where it is located, as well as aggressively avoiding any in-character encounters. The book nearly reads like it's trying to correct the world, like propaganda.
