A story in post-apartheid South Africa about an Indian woman and a white South African who met under strange circumstances. The white man’s clan started in South Africa in the late seventeenth century between the union of a German and an Indian woman from Malabar in India. It was not strange then, but the social, economic, cultural changes since have evolved radically and relations over the colour line caused serious upheavals in both groups, especially the woman’s clan which still adhered to age-old customs. They both had to experience dramatic changes and adaptations.
