§ SADNESS
IN THE HOUSE OF LOVE © FAROUK
ASVAT § (novel)
The blossoming love between Siddique and Wasiela in the midst of an
uprising against the cruel regime is set against the bleakness and the beauty
of the peninsula - the myriad characters reacting with humour and courage to
the turmoil surrounding them.
Against the backdrop of the ever-present mountain and the persistent
south-easter, the novel is a portrait of a cosmopolitan city isolated from the
world, of a happy-go-lucky community caught up in the throes of a revolt
against oppression, of an extended family responding to the new challenges
facing them, of the slowly developing love between the two protagonists getting
entangled in the maelstrom - with devastating consequences.

1. The Family Of Many
Children In The Motherless Mother City
"They chase
shadows," Fahdila said with measured contempt.
Only Siddique, dreaming
of the treacherous Atlantic eyes of Wasiela - the fairest virgin of the Cape -
heard her. He looked at Fahdila's
alabaster features across the supper table ... and said nothing. Her voice reverberated in his skull, flying
among the colourful discord of budgies flying around in the rarefied air of the
lounge, hovering about in the excited atmosphere of cousins and aunts gathered
for the evening.
From then on
boisterous laughter took over, a carnival of delights in the festive atmosphere:
composed: 1980 to
2015 [cape town & johannesburg, south africa under apartheid]
