Rosas District Six

by Rozena Maart

Tsar Publications | January 1, 2004 | Trade Paperback

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 - Mamma Zila, Auntie Flowers, Mrs Hood and Uncle Peter - and their confusing, enigmatic lives, and all too human quirs.

"''No Rosa, No District Six'' is a terrifically ferocious story about a young girls sudden education in the erotic lives of women." - The Globe and Mail

"The story [''No Rosa, No District Six'' is startlingly clear and intimate." -Kingston Whig-Standard

"... a writer in our midst with radical style and uncommon courage. The ability to engage the reader passionately in her narrator''s experiences, which she demonstrates ... makes Maart a writer to watch." -The Ottawa Citizen

Set in South Africa in 1970 when most Canadians had little idea of
what was happening in South Africa, this writer has given us great
insights into the lives of Black and Colored peoples in South Africa,
with great writing style and wonderful story-telling technique. The
themes are daring but well done, ranging from erotic love to madness
and murder. I have just read it; I bought it at the lauch more than a
week ago and it is truely fantastic
