An excellent set work to bring into a South African classroom.

I have greatly enjoyed reading this play. Loved the colorful writing with all these expressions which are foreign for me. Although I have enjoyed the ideas expressed by the author and her characters, I think I would have preferred to have interactions between the characters, rather than just monologues.

It was a brilliant book, very well-written. It delt well with the problems of Muslim women living in Cape Town and the contrast of those living in the Middle Eastern countries. It was eye-opening and heart breaking.

This is such an evocative piece in its discussion of racism and even racism within a single group, alongside gender violations in the name of faith.

erika, i think you'd like this short, lyrical play, which was a big, debate-provoking hit in south africa, and imagines a series of south african muslim women's reactions to an honour killing in jordan-so yeah, feminism and global islam from an unusual and refreshing perspective.

A rare glimpse into the multi-faceted lives of Indo-South African women by an up and coming playwright. Original and sensitive.
