While successful prosecutor Sarah Barcant returns home to a rural town in South Africa at the request of her mentor and inspiration to help him with one last case, former deputy Dirk Hendricks is on the way to meet Alex Mpondo, a prisoner he had tortured, and soon, the lives of these three people will be connected by the Truth Commission, forcing them to revisit their painful pasts, in a gripping novel of the ramifications of truth and the intimacy of enemies.
Review:
"Slovo...mixes conventional takes on big ideas--truth, justice, responsibility--with a breathless criminal investigation of a young man's death during apartheid....Well intended, but still less persuasively compelling than much nonfiction...."
Kirkus, 10/01/2001
Review:"Without an understanding of the [South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission's] mission..., it is difficult to make sense of the psychodrama that serves as the novel's centerpiece....Despite the cosmopolitanism of her black characters..., Slovo betrays a certain pessimism concerning the future of South Africa."
Mireille A. L. Djenno, Ruminator Review, Fall 2002
