What We Say: “This sparky novel explores the life-changing powers of love and grief as it shines a light on the consequences of South Africa’s complicated history. When young Sana finds herself in a ruined mansion that’s become a boarding house, her curiosity draws her to its deserted east wing and a djinn rises. Hauntingly mysterious, it’s an unforgettable story of a young girl’s search for belonging” – Samantha de Haas
What They Say: “Filled with wonder and colour... I was enthralled and completely swept away” — Yangsze Choo
