And They Didn't Die - Lauretta Ngcobo

[Luke]

And They Didn't Die, Lauretta Ngcobo, 1990, South Africa (South Africa/England), NOVEL

"...Jezile, Siyalo, and their families are trapped, both by the relentless oppressions of the white government and by the restrictive conventions of their own society. Lauretta Ngcobo's portrayal of their suffering, of the strength of the community of women in Sigageni, and of the enduring bond between Jezile and Siyalo, create a novel that is powerful, angry, and uplifting."
