The Rainbow Has No Pink by Hamish Hoosen Pillay
Intelligently written and well paced, the novel charts the story of one of the darkest stories of the shady dealings of the Apartheid army. Through the use of well played twists and turns the author brings to our attention the extent of the injustices and atrocities committed in the name of the State in South Africa.
This novel is of particular interest to South Africans as it is based on fact, while it's fiction spins a web around the reader that leaves one unable to put down the book.
The plot loosely follows the atrocities committed by Apartheid's most gross violator of human rights, recently arrested in Canada, and known to newspaper readers around the world as Dr Shock -a psychiatrist accused of having used electrotherapy to try to "cure" gay patients. The Rainbow Has No Pink explores the underbelly of the psychosis behind the logic and rhetoric spewed out by the Apartheid authorities in their manic need to control every aspect of people's lives.
The masterly narrative is highly accomplished for a first novel and is indicative of a budding author on the rise. Pillay is definitely an author to watch in the future as his unfailing sense of humanity and justice transports the reader into worlds devoid of humane qualities.
The novel is recommended for anyone interested in the dark side of South Africa or anyone who grew up too late in the shadow of Apartheid South Africa to understand the gross violation of human rights which characterised it. Legal eagles, history buffs and anyone with a sense of appreciation for a good story will thoroughly love this book.
It's definitely worth the read and it will make great book-gifts to friends and family. You will be moved. Wishlist it and buy it!
