Set in the early 1950s in Badminton, a suburb suspended in time somewhere outside Johannesburg. To this time-locked place comes Swirsky, to open his pharmacy. With his talk of exotic places and gleaming bottles and jars, the children think of him as a magician - and the adults smell trouble.

Review:
"'A jewel box of a novel... exquisite.' Observer 'Hope finds in the post-War confusion of South Africa a mine of comic possibility... throughout this bright, fresh comedy, politics lurk in the shadows.' The Times 'Brilliance and charm... This is a wonderfully funny book.' Financial Times 'Touching and amusing... told without a wasted word.' Mail on Sunday"
