About This Item
London: Secker & Warburg, 1996. First edition. Hardback. Fine/Fine. Secker & Warburg, London, 1996. First edition. Book Condition: Near fine - just a tiny amount of spotting on text block edge. Dust Jacket Condition: Near fine & unclipped. Minimal amount of shelf wear to head & tail of spine. Very slight colour loss to spine. In this novel of audacious complexity, by turns opulently fanciful and brutally direct, Andre Brink unfurls a panorama of a nation's experience, focusing the past like a burning-glass on an astounding week of 1994 when the unbelievable crystallised into history.
Synopsis
In this magical novel that re-imagines stories from nine generations of South African women, ”histories, half-truths, myths, and fables weave themselves around an exile’s return to a nation on the brink of political transformation” (Boston Sunday Globe).
