Rumors of Rain, October 4, 2006
This review is from: Rumors of Rain (Mass Market Paperback)
On the eve of the Soweto riots, a wealthy white South African looks back on his troubled and troubling past.
Martin Mynhardt, a highly successful business and Afrikaans Nationalist, returns to the family farm one weekend to arrange its sale to the government - a corrupt deal that will lead to a financial killing.
The weekend becomes a nightmare. Martin's closenst friend, a brilliant, idealistic lawyer, is sentenced to prison for his anti-apartheid "terrorist" activities - in part because Martin refuses to help him. Martin's son, recently returned from the Angolan war, is in silent revolt against the values of his father and his nation. Martin's mistress, Bea, an intelligent, strong-willed woman who offers Martin the hope of redemption through her own capacity for empathy, is also caught up in the gathering political storm.
