Thirteen Cents

Cape Town, between the picture postcard mountain and sea, has its own shadow: a place of dislocation and uncertainty, dependence and desperation, destruction and survival, gangsters, pimps, hunger, hope, and moments of happiness. Living in this shadow is thirteen-year-old Azure who makes his living on the streets. This book tells his story.
