Where the River Runs Gold, penned by the acclaimed author Sita Brahmachari, is a breathtaking tale of resilience and adventure that captures the heart and imagination.
This poignant story follows siblings Shifa and Themba as they navigate the stark realities of life in the divided Kairos City. In a world where the wealthy thrive and the many live in oppressive conditions, these two children must summon every ounce of courage to escape their harsh fate.
As they face the grim reality of manual labor on farms and the disappearance of nature, Shifa devises a daring plan to rescue Themba. Guided only by a map, scribbled from the tales of a stranger, their journey toward freedom is fraught with challenges. Yet, with love as their compass, they embark on an unforgettable odyssey that underscores the urgency of climate change and the fight for justice.
Join Shifa and Themba on their courageous quest in Where the River Runs Gold, where the fate of their freedom—and their nation—hangs in the balance. This compelling narrative invites readers to reflect on their own connections to the environment and the importance of standing up for what is right.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
