Nuances And Other Stories

Dianne Stewart's stories touch on the many contemporary experiences of South Africans. With a light, deft touch she illuminates these lives. Ranging from Durban to London or New York, the characters in these stories are in search: of answers, a handmade Zulu basket, a long lost son or a publishing contract.

These are stories about growing up and going to university, of chasing dreams, or living rough on the streets. Some are realistic, some have a twist in the tale. And through it all the rumble of rain and thunder flows through, metaphor for change, illumination, hope. ' ARJA SALAFRANCE, author of THE THIN LINE and BEYOND TOUCH.
