Prison Diary. One hundred and thirteen days 1976. Meer, Fatima

Kwela Books, 2001. 212 x 135 mm; laminated pictorial wraps; pp. 212; colour plates. Good+ condition, front cover has been creased, edge rubbed. "This is the story of a woman removed from her family and imprisoned in a distant city, without ever being brought before a court of law. It is a story of longing and of love - of a mother fraught with worry about her children and a wife anxious about the small discomforts her husband might be suffering in her absence. It is a story of sadness and of hardship. But it is much more than that. It is also the story of strength in vulnerability and of hope against despair. It is a story about the victory of the spirit over oppression and, in a unique manner, a story about the joy of life. And all of it is true."
