In Coming Home and Other Stories, Farida Karodia paints a haunting and captivating picture of South Africa, the land of her birth.


The nine stories embrace an astonishing variety of themes and characters. Some, like the title novella 'Coming Home', deal with deeply personal issues of change and estrangement, drawn from the writer's own experiences while in 'The Necklace' we live through the hopeless drunken despair of Burns Mpangela, who is unemployed and unable to support his family. Other stories explore relationships and fears that are peculiarly South African.


The collection as a whole reflects the author's love and depth of concern for the fate of her nation. South Africa's political tragedy is powerfully expressed in human terms, through the poverty, loneliness and rootlessness of truncated lives.

Condition: worn, some tearing on back cover
