<div><p><i>This is the sweet memory of Mme, my dear mother. The first sweet memory . . . Sometimes her laughter bursts into my head or I hear her call me my name full and round in her mouth. Frustratingly though, as with all the memories I have of Mme, her face always blurs under the pressure of my focus.âEuro</i></p><p>Celia Mphephu works as a maid for Mr and Mrs Steiner in a leafy, white manâEuros suburb of 1960s Johannesburg. When racial tensions in the country reach fever pitch and the Steiners plan to relocate to England, they offer to adopt CeliaâEuros young daughter Miriam and raise her as their own.</p><p>But Miriam finds England to be very different to the place the Steiners have told her about. And so begins her long journey through the years, back to South Africa, to find her mother and herself.</p><p>Set against the violent backdrop of apartheid South Africa and then the calm of late twentieth-century Britain,<i>Shifting Colours</i> traces the lives of a mother and daughter separated by land, sea and heart-rending circumstance.</p></div>
