Review
"From the stones of his country's rich, tragic, tumultuous history, Brink has built a novel that should nourish his reputation for years to come" (Donald Morrison Financial Times)
"Brink's lyrical but spare writing evokes the harshness of the veld and the dream world created by the Bushmen. A book that lingers in the mind long after you have reached the last page" (Daily Mail)
"A work of fidelity and imaginative freedom" (Times Literary Supplement)
"Brave, rewarding and dignified" (Time Out)
From the Publisher
A magical novel from a world class writer about a remarkable historical figure.
