About the Book

Mavis wanted two things in life and then she will be truly happy. It was to have somebody looking after her and seeing her children had a decent upbringing. Marcus had made a fool of her when he used her for his own selfish means, making her to become a heavy drinker and left alone with his child close to starvation. Then a man named Ramesh entered her life who treated her with respect and gave her true love. Unfortunately their love did not last when he was brutally murdered by a native impi for being in the wrong place. But sometimes when you wish for happiness it never comes, it destroys you even more.

About the Author

Cyril James, a coloured man, was born and raised in the slums of South Africa in 1945. He was educated at a primary school named St. Theresa’s in Sydenham, Durban. At the age of fourteen, he left school after doing his Standard 5 and went to work at Durban Harbour, cleaning the cargo holds of ships after they had been offloaded. He became a seaman, working as a cook, and when he left the sea, he worked at many leading hotels in the Durban and Cape Town until he felt the urge to go elsewhere. For the next twenty-five years, he went into engineering, working as a piping material supervisor at many projects around South Africa and some other countries in Africa. He is married to a coloured girl named Linda who is working with him.

Customer Reviews

"CYRIL JAMES IS A BEST SELLING WRITER IN THE MAKING.HE HAS DEVELOPED THE WRITING STYLE OF A GREAT AUTHOR,WHERE THE READER IVES THE STORY IN HIS MIND, EMBRACES IT, AND BECOMES ONE OF THE CHARACTERS.
BEGINNING AT THE COVER OF THE BOOK,A LONE FIGUREBOF A WOMAN STANDS,FACING A HEAD-ON STORM,AS INDICATED BY THE OMINOUS CUMULO-NIMBUS CLOUDS,AND STRIKING BOLT OF LIGHTNING.ALL SHE HAS,IS A FRAGILE UMBRELLA GET HER THROUGHTHE CONSEQUENCES OF THE IMPENDING ELEMENTS.
THE FIRST DOWNPOUR OCCURSAT THE WEE AGE OF FIVE,WHEN,BECAUSE OF A HARROWING DROUGHT,THE FAMILY HAS TO RELOCATE FROM THE EASTERN CAPE TO DURBAN,IN ORDER FOR HER FATHER TO FIND EMPLOYMENT
THE TUMULTUOUS DISTURBANCE IN HER LIFE OCCURS WHEN HER FATHER MOVES ON TO CONTINUE HIS LIFE IN CAPE TOWNWITH ANOTHER WOMAN.YOUNG MAVUS,HER SIBLINGSAND HER MOTHER ARE LEFT DESTITUTE,WHICH FORCESHER TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL.THIS IS WHEN THE APPROACHINGSTORM CLOUDS BEGIN TO BURST WITH GREAT MOMENTUM.
CYRIL HAS ATTUNED HIS WRITING STYLE TO WHAT HE IS 'AU-FAIT'WITH-""THE COLOURED SUBCULTURE"".
WITH HIS CREATIVEMIND HE HAS WOVEN INTRICATELY THESE COLOURFUL THREADS OF LITERATURE TO A PERFECT TAPESTRY OF THE IMAGINATION.HE LEAVES NOITHING OUT.
I LAUGHED OUT LOUDLY AT HIS SATIRE,WHEN HE MADE FUN OF CERTAIN MEMBERS OF WENTWORTH SOCIETY
I CRIED FOR NMAVIS ,AND FOR JOYCE.I WAS ANGRY WITH MARCUS AND ROSS.I WAS DISGUSTED WITH THE AUTHORITIES AND THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM OF THE DAY.
AS I READ THGE BOOK,I FELT AS THOUGHI COULD SHAKE SOME REASONING INTO ROSS.
I WANTED TO EMBRACE MAVIS AND SHELTER HER,SO THAT SHE COULD EXPERIENCE EVEN A MOMENTS RESPITE FROM THE STORM THAT WAS PREVALENT IN HER LIFE
THROUGH ALL HER TRIALS, THE ONLY THING MAVIS HELD ONTOSTEADFASTY WAS HER 'DIGNITY'.THE UMBRELLA HELD BY THE FEMININE FIUGURE ON THE CIVER OF THE BOOK IS SYMBOLIC OF THAT.
THE FINAL DROP OF RAIN BRINGS FORTH A RAINBOW IN THE FORM OF 'ENVER'HER GRANDSON.
FINALLY, THERE IS SOMEONE TO 'LOOK AFTER
