Synopsis
When Laurence Waters arrives at his rural posting, Frank is instantly suspicious. Laurence is everything Frank is not -- young, optimistic and full of new schemes. The two become uneasy friends, while the rest of the staff in the deserted hospital view Laurence with a mixture of awe and mistrust. The town beyond the hospital is also coping with new arrivals, and the return of old faces. The brigadier -- a self-fashioned dictator from apartheid days -- is rumoured to still be alive. And down at Mama's place, a group of soldiers have moved in with their malign commandant, a man Frank has met before and is keen to avoid. Laurence wants to help -- bit in a world where the past is demanding restitution from the present, his ill-starred idealism cannot last.

Review
A gripping read, laced throughout with powerful emotional truth and extraordinary vision. --Independent
One of the best and weirdest novels I have read in a long while. From the first page the reader is gripped. There are traces of J. M. Coetzee and Graham Greene but Damon Galgut is a true original. --Geoff Dyer
'Should have won the Booker.' --Norman Lebrecht, Books of the Year, Evening Standard
