Editor's Note:
Longing for Home is a collection of 15 short stories about the people, struggles, flavours, textures and cultures of Southern Africa. Some of the stories have been set before and during the apartheid era, some in the present day and others even in the future, but all the struggles encountered by the characters echo a deeply human, and more importantly, a deeply Southern African sense of being and longing for the things that all of us long for; freedom, peace, home, and a sense of belonging.His Father’s Eyes Ai’sha, a young woman who has run away from Johannesburg married her knight in shining armour against her family’s wishes, learns that her husband has been drowned while out fishing in stormy weather.

Tall, blonde, elegant and vivacious – what is she doing living in suburbia, married to the very, very average David? When the neighbours find her standing in the middle of the road in the rain late at night, they realise all is not what it seems.Anita’s CrossWhen fifteen-year-old Anita receives the news that her mother has passed away after a long illness, her lack of reaction disturbs her aunt Kogie. Not long afterwards, Anita runs away from home, leaving no clues to her whereabouts. Kogie’s neighbour, Salma, gets a disturbing piece of information two years later and the two set out to find Anita.Memories of FietasA man wakes up in Johannesburg General hospital after being brutally assaulted with no memory of his identity or past.
