Synopsis: Rayda Jacobs' third novel. Set in Cape Town, this readable novel explores marriage and emotional attachments in the life of a modern Muslim woman, as it looks at, among other incidents in her life, an obsessive relationship with a fundamentalist Christian man. The novel starts off with a wonderful description of growing up in the fifties in Sachs Street in Bo-Kaap, the traditional Muslim area on the slopes of Signal Hill, just above the central part of Cape Town. Very much focused on women characters, SACHS STREET offers for the first time in SA English fiction an intimate portrait of life since the fifties in a not-perfect Muslim household. It tells the story of the main character and her sister as they grow up, fall in love, get married and split up.
