About this book:

The result of an illegal affair between a white British woman and black South African man, during apartheid, 'Karoline' is classified as 'white', but her true parentage soon emerges. At  6 weeks old she is secreted out of SA under the pretense of needing medical treatment in the UK. On returning, her biological mother says her newborn has died abroad. Karoline is adopted by a white British couple. Plagued by questions surrounding her identity, she returns 'home' at 26, to face her inner demons.
