Product Description

At the end of a steep gravel road in one of the remotest corners of South Africa's Eastern Cape lies the village of Ithanga. Home to a few hundred villagers, the majority of them unemployed, it is inconceivably poor. This title explores the lives of a community caught up in a battle to survive the ravages of the plague, the African AIDS epidemic.
