Rosa's District 6

In Cape Town's District 6, despite the brutality of apartheid laws, the lives of people go on. In these five connected stories, the central character is a precocious little girl called Rosa. Through her adventures in the neighbourhood we come to meet and know the District and its many colourful inhabitants--including Mamma Zila, Auntie Flowers, Mrs Hood and Uncle Peter--and their confusing, enigmatic lives, and all too human quirks.
