Becoming is the story of two university friends, Alison and Marilyn, who meet again after 31 years of silence. A chance meeting later in life forces both women to revisit the dramatic incident that destroyed their friendship all those years ago. As they reconnect, both women are forced to look at parts of themselves that they have long kept hidden from themselves and other people. Alison, a repressed middle-aged housewife, is in a secure but unexciting marriage, and is inwardly searching for a break from the tedium of her existence. Marilyn, outwardly glamorous and successful, conceals the scars of bitter disappointment and heartbreak. Becoming is a novel about coming of age; it is about how we can become whole despite our circumstances or our pasts. It is a novel about sexuality, and it also deals with the difficult subject of female genital mutilation. Set in modern-day South Africa, the book was inspired by a real facts-of-life book of 1950s vintage, entitled On Becoming a Woman by Harold Shryock, which at one time was in circulation in South Africa.
