A majestic saga, a thoughtful narrative of a family's epic struggle, which weaves together extraordinary characters bursting with richness, feeling and dimension. Chin Govender, the favoured son of Cato Manor, returns home to his estranged family in the late 1940s after years away, bringing with him an astounding tale that spans the physical and political landscape of South Africa. It chronicles his exploits from a penniless wine steward in East London to become a successful hotel owner in District Six, Cape Town. The story of Chin Govender's family is blended into the rich cultural tapestry of the openness of Indian life and the intricacies of close communities that form the backdrop of this amazing tale. "Song of the Atman" is a spectacular tour de force that paints an evocative portrait of five generations of descendants of former indentured Indian labourers and their struggle to build an identity in an emerging South Africa.
