TT$105.00

Was $210 . **WINNER OF THE 2021 BOOKER PRIZE*** Literary Fiction. A masterpiece of a family in crisis from twice Booker-shortlisted author Damon Galgut: 'one of the world's great writers' (Edmund White) and 'the bold, fresh voice of South African fiction' (Observer) Author - Damon Galgut Hardcover 304 Pages .

A taut and menacing novel that charts the crash and burn of an Afrikaans family, the Swarts. Punctuated by funerals that bring the ever-diminishing family together, each of the four parts opens with a death and a new decade.

The characterisations are razor sharp, the dialogue dramatic, the action gripping. As we traverse the decades, Damon interweaves the story of a disappointed nation from apartheid to Jacob Zuma.
