234 x 154 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. (vi) + 154. Very good condition. "Cross Alexander McCall Smith with Philip Pullman and a hefty dose of Zakes Mda and you could get a sense of what travelling in Merrington's South Africa is like. Follow the exploits of the sangoma Malibongwe Ngingingini as he moves through the light and dark realms of consciousness with his beloved apprentice Anna. Their task is to heal, which they do in ever more inventive forms as they travel the highways and byways of South Africa and further afield. You won't be left untouched.".
