Sobre IBD

THE BOOK: A narrative counterpoint between two women two South Africas. Kristien Muller returns from London to her homeland to fulfil a promise. Her grandmother lies on her deathbed unleashing a turmult of myth legend and brute fact. Confronted by the realities of a land hurtling towards change Kristien discovers that the present holds its own moments of savagery. A searing panorama of South Africa’s experience reminiscent in its political & imaginative scope of Marquez’s One Hundred Years Of Solitude.
