About the Book

When Sita and her family travel from India to South Africa to begin a new life, they find themselves working as indentured labourers on a sugar-cane plantation in Natal. Life is difficult, but Sita’s story is also one of growth, passion and resilience.

Defying tradition, she becomes involved in a forbidden romance with Albert, the English brother-in-law of the plantation owner. Forced into a marriage arranged by her parents, Sita attempts to build a new life, but the feelings she once tried to bury never truly disappear.

Years later, when Albert returns, Sita must confront the choices of her past and the emotions that still linger. Interwoven with her story is that of her brother Gopi, whose journey into the darker underworld of early Durban adds tension and drama to this sweeping narrative.

Rich in historical detail and emotional depth, The Heart Knows No Colour is a powerful story of love, loyalty and the challenges faced by the early South African Indian community.
