The World Unseen by Shamim Sarif
En la Sudafrica de los anos 50, Amina, una mujer de espiritu libre, ha roto todas las reglas de su propia comunidad india convencional y del nuevo gobierno regido por el apartheid, al operar un cafe con Jacob, su socio de color. Cuando conoce a Miriam, una joven esposa y madre, la inesperada atraccion que surge entre ellas empuja a Miriam a cuestionarse las reglas que la atan. Cuando Amina ayuda a la cunada de Miriam a esconderse de la policia, se desata una cadena de eventos que cambia a las dos mujeres por siempre. El mundo oculto nos transporta a un mundo vibrante y lleno de color, un mundo que separa a los blancos de los negros y a las mujeres de los hombres, pero que tambien pudiera permitir que sobreviva un amor inesperado.
