About the Book<\/strong>: <\/strong>Coming out in South Africa \u2026 At what cost? All his life Kabelo Mosala has been the perfect child to his doting absent parents, who show him off every chance they get. Both his parents and his small community look forward to him coming back after medical school and joining his father\u2019s practice. They also plan to give him the perfect township wedding. But Kabelo\u2019s one wish has always been to get as far away from the township as he possibly can and never come back. A few weeks before he leaves for university, however, he forms a close bond with Sediba, one of his childhood friends, confirming his long-held suspicion that he is gay. Their relationship is thrown into turmoil by social pressures and conflicting desires, and it starts to look as if they can\u2019t be together. But against all odds the two young men make their way back to each other, risking scorn from the community that raised them.In her characteristic, beautifully modulated voice, with razor-sharp clarity, Kagiso Lesego Molope tackles an urgent issue in her country of birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
