Description:

Kristien's grandmother is dying and she finds herself leaving London to fly back to her native South Africa. Her grandmother is determined to hand down her treasury of family history, telling of magic, treachery, heroism and farce - the panorama of a nation's experience.

Synopsis:

THE BOOK: A narrative counterpoint between two women, two South Africas. Kristien Muller returns from London to her homeland to fulfil a promise. Her grandmother lies on her deathbed unleashing a turmult of myth, legend and brute fact. Confronted by the realities of a land hurtling towards change, Kristien discovers that the present holds its own moments of savagery. A searing panorama of South Africa's experience, reminiscent in its political & imaginative scope of Marquez's One Hundred Years Of Solitude.
