A poignant tale of friendship, love, and the power of sisterhood in the face of life's challenges.

The Five Firm Friends – Edith, Cordelia, Amanda, Doris and Beauty – are five sassy career women who confront life head-on. But when Beauty suddenly becomes ill and, after six short weeks, passes away, their world is thrown into confusion. On her deathbed, Beauty begs Amanda to promise her one thing – that she and the rest of the FFF will not waste their lives as she has done, all because of an unfaithful husband... 'Ukhule,' she implores Amanda. May you live a long life, and may you become old.

In Beauty's Gift, Sindiwe Magona, at her very best, weaves a moving tale of how four women decide to change their own fate as well as the lives of those closest to them in modern-day South Africa. With themes of love, relationships, and female empowerment, Magona urges women to speak up, stand up, and take control of their own lives.
