Beauty's Gift

By Sindiwe Magona

"The Five Firm Friends - Edith, Cordelia, Amanda, Doris and Beauty - are five sassy career women who confront life head- on. But when Beauty suddenly becomes ill and, after six short weeks, passes away, their world is thrown into confusion. On her deathbed Beauty begs Amanda to promise her one thing - that she and the rest of the FFF will not waste their lives as she has done. All because of an unfaithful husband ... 'Ukhule, ' she begs of Amanda. May you live a long life, and may you become old. Beauty's Gift is a moving tale of how four women decide to change their own fate as well as the lives of those closest to them. This is Sindiwe Magona at her very best - writing about social issues, and not keeping quiet. Speak up, she says to women in Africa. Stand up and take control of your own lives."--
