Maya’s journey takes in Cape Town, London and Connemara in the west of Ireland. The story shifts and weaves skilfully between these locations but the story of the downtrodden in their own backyard is more poignant than the exciting locations that it’s located in. It’s a rollicking good love story as well that began beneath the mantle of the awe-inspiring Table Mountain. This is a book that you will not want to put down.

I bought this some time ago and have only just read it. I’m so pleased I did! Set in post-apartheid Cape Town, London and Ireland, it is the story of an Englishwoman’s shocking discovery of her true identity. Suddenly her life, which seemed to be going so well, is thrown into chaos and she must find the courage to re-evaluate everything she thought about herself.
The discovery has a catastrophic effect upon her romantic relationship, and changes her understanding of her family history and her place in society. At her most vulnerable she must dig deep inside herself for the courage to face a new world stripped of familiar certainties.
Helena Abrahams writes with an acute eye for human emotions, and her prose is rich and descriptive. I enjoyed reading about Cape Town, which I know is a lovely and fascinating city. Maya’s Journey keeps you guessing all the way, and if you like a story that sucks you in completely you’ll love this. The book finishes on a positive note but without resolving the issues, so I look forward to reading book two and three of the series.
