Book Description

January 1, 2001
Kenneth Makeer - intelligent, South African and black - travels to London to study law where he meets a fellow South African - a white girl - whom he eventually marries. Yet mixed marriages are outlawed in the Union, and so when they return home they come face to face with racial intolerance and hatred at its most brutal.

This is a passionate, harrowing and dramatic story, written at a time of deep racial tensions, which hurtles towards its ugly and untimely conclusion.


Editorial Reviews

Review

'An admirable writer has written another admirable book' -- Spectator

'It is scrupulously well written. It is very much the sort of novel that counts' -- Guardian
