Synopsis
Equator South, Equator North is a novel written by Jacqueline Walker. The story revolves around two women, one from the southern hemisphere and the other from the northern hemisphere, who share a deep connection despite their vastly different backgrounds. The first woman, Nia, is a Black woman from South Africa who was forced to flee her home due to apartheid. She finds herself living in London, where she struggles to adjust to the new culture and racism she faces. The second woman, Grace, is a white woman from England who is dealing with her own personal struggles, including the end of her marriage and the loss of her job. The two women meet by chance and form a bond that transcends race, culture, and geography. As they navigate their own challenges and support each other through them, they come to realize the power of their connection and the importance of standing up for what they believe in. The novel explores themes of friendship, identity, racism, and social justice, and offers a powerful message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
