Publisher's Synopsis
Twenty-nine-year-old Themba is a nihilistic, depressed, and suicidal artist whose dream is to become a successful novelist. With all the failure and suffering he's experiencing, it seems as though his life is stuck without any purpose and meaning. Everything seems to be going well for his friends, but not for him. His brother and father hate him for his ambitious but dead dream. Worse, Themba still lives in poverty with his parents in an abandoned house.
However, Themba has one passionate reader of his books, a woman called Yana. She's weird and has no friends, and volunteers at a local orphanage. Yana is the good samaritan of the neighborhood, cheerful and happy, but a few people seem to like her. Themba begins to question what makes Yana so odd but yet so comfortable with her life even though she doesn't have much to be happy about. His curiosity leads him closer to her, and his life changes forever.
