Review
'Flanery's portrayal of South Africa is explosively powerful... An exceptionally intelligent, multi-layered novel encompassing politics, history, a gripping storyline and complex characters. It has absorbing depictions of grief, guilt, parenthood and sibling rivalry, and is beautifully written... Absolution is an exceptional book.' --Independent
'The wonder of this outstanding novel is that Flanery weaves the stories together with such assurance and craftsmanship, digging underneath many recieved ideas about the old and new South Africa.' --The Times
'Patrick Flanery is an exceptionally gifted novelist, and he is just getting started' --New Yorker
Book Description
What leads two lives, seemingly disparate in every possible way, to converge in space and time?
Set in modern South Africa, an elderly acclaimed author searches for a daughter lost amongst the wreckage of her mother's failings and a nation's shadowed history. With this muscular debut novel, Flanery announces himself, quite simply, as a future literary sensation.
