When Morning Comes by Arushi Raina is a sweeping and passionate portrait of lives interwoven with political turmoil, shedding light on an early moment in South Africa's history when the world might have seemed brighter – and darker.
In 1948, when her village was released from Communist rule, Munni crossed the borders – separated from her best friend Naghma at home, but also unsure of what life had in store for her new life in Pakistan.The old house she grew up in now stands on the other side of a newly-established border – and behind that huge monumental wall stand her parents, neighbours and friends, whom Munni loves, who have been reduced to shadows she can no longer reach. Exiled from her homeland, yet unable to cross the ceaseless metal fence, she finds refuge in books, where she sees herself alongside her beloved Punjabis – and metamorphoses her tragedy into a story that becomes a voice for all the untold captives, for the broken dreams shattered by borders.Trapped between multiple worlds she loves and loathes, she'd often find comfort in her poetry and dreams. Desert outlaw of Soweto, Zanele sits on a playground with her classmates, Sanoli and Mucumbi, as the brown rooftops of her uniformed neighbors – row upon row – recede from her eyes behind her teal bags.

Описание книги от Arushi Raina
It's 1976 in South Africa, and four young people are living in Johannesburg and its black township, Soweto: Zanele, a black female student organizer; Meena, a South Asian girl working at her father's shop; Jack, an Oxford-bound white student; and Thabo, a teen-gang member, or tsotsi. From each of their points of view, this book explores the roots of the Soweto Uprising and the edifice of apartheid in a South Africa about to explode. Introducing readers to a remarkable young literary talent, When Morning Comes offers an impeccably researched and vivid snapshot of South African society on the eve of the uprising that changed it forever. Bespeak Audio Editions brings Canadian voices to the world with audiobook editions of some of the country's greatest works of literature, performed by Canadian actors.
