Between two worlds
Set in Soweto outside Johannesburg, Between Two Worlds is one of the most important novels of South Africa under apartheid.

| 520 | . | ‡a"An important illustration of apartheid in 1960s South Africa. By telling the story of Muriel, a bookkeeper at an electronics and furniture store in Johannesburg, Tlali comments on the injustice of the Pass Laws, the Land Act, and other discriminatory legislation. The novel also traces the ethical dilemmas of someone employed in a system she loathes... Tlali elegantly weaves stories around the day to day life of Muriel showing her humour and her humanity in the face of of dehumanizing circumstances."-- Page [4] of cover. | |
