Suitcase of Memory: SA author A’Eysha Kassiem tackles racial and cultural identity in debut novel

From Maverick Life, By Sandisiwe Shoba• 11 May 2021

"She calls her book a story about the “power of untold stories”, some of which are found in the seemingly mundane memories of apartheid held by ordinary South Africans.

'It’s not just the kind of stuff that we always hear about when we talk about our history, like the greats – Mandela and Luthuli. We know that story. But I don’t think we are as in touch with the ordinary, everyday South Africans who had to live through the experience too, and what that meant.'”
