Safe Houses: A Novel of Love and Betrayal in South Africa - Rose Zwi

Set against the escalating violence of the last years of the Apartheid regime, Safe Houses tells the story of three families - the Sibiyas, the Singers, the Sterns - who are inextricably bound by love and hate, hope and betrayal. Ruth and Lola are drawn into the struggle against Apartheid, but feel marginal: it is difficult to find solutions when one is part of the problem. Can love and hope survive an evil political system that indiscriminately devours both the guilty and the innocent?
