A contemporary fantasy set in Cape Town, South Africa.Rebecca never expected to meet a witch, least of all in a second-hand bookshop in Mowbray. Surely she had nothing to fear from an old lady holding a box of children's books. But on the train home Rebecca collapses and is rushed to hospital, deep in a coma.

And Miss Mouse, the Antelope Girls, Hyena and the rest don't exactly blend in with the crowd.Cape Town in winter is a harsh place to be homeless.

She turns to her sisters for help but finds that they have secrets of their own. And Rebecca's gun-packing neighbour is getting far too interested in her strange visitors.
