Hani, Kasih and Saya have been friends since they were kids. After years apart, they meet to pick up where they left off. But it's clear, they can't escape the racism that accompanies their daily lives: glances, chatter, hatred and right-wing terror. Until one dramatic night shakes everything up. An uncompromising novel of unconditional friendship.
