(Blurb/Summary)

Theirs is a relationship burdened with obstacles. There are no roses and sweet smelling perfumes. The ground is rocky and life becomes a field of thorns as violent storms threaten to rip them apart. 

Coming from a well-off, aristocratic family, Refilwe is prohibited from seeing the only person she loves. They want a prestigious man for her - not a mere painter. In times when love is thicker than blood, she is determined to break the boundaries that separate right from wrong, left from right, rich from poor and black from white. Her destiny is in her hands and she believes she can control it… even when things go terribly wrong. 

 

Set in the urban village of Serowe, The Moon Has Eyes is a short tale of a courageous couple whose hopeful journey for love is shattered by powerful forces. It is a story that pulses with strength and courage, all entangled in a web of resentment and cruelty.
