Very Good in Dustjacket. 0333595793. 263 pages. hardcover. Cover: Vanessa Dell. keywords: Africa South Africa Literature England World Literature. DESCRIPTION - It's 1949 in the remote Karoo village of Lutherburg and old Aunt Betsy acquires a little servant girl, at a bargain price of six bars of soap. Forty-five years later, and Lutherburg, now Buckingham, has acquired a new deputy-mayor: Mimi de Bruyn. Mimi is plagued by the past and haunted by the future. Was she really that lost child sold into semi-slavery? If the new Buckingham is such an improvement on old Lutherburg - why can't she tell the difference? And why won't anyone talk to her about the old days? Into this turmoil sails Pascal Le Gros - dressed in white from head to toe; dreamer; disgraced lawyer; time-share salesman; and portly lunar presence. As Mimi and Pascal fall in love, the nation prepares to commemorate the first year of democracy and the stage is set for the most fervent celebration of the King since his Vegas comeback. But in brave new Buckingham, like the new South Africa, nothing is what it was, not even rock 'n' roll. Ex-spies prosper; a politically incorrect budgerigar gets the third degree; the community of British Israelites puts seduction before Armageddon; and violence and murder are as common as promises of paradise. Me, the Moon and Elvis Presley is a story about love, death and rock 'n' roll and about how the twentieth century passed some people by. As the novel moves back and forth between past and present, promises and politics, the new South Africa looks dangerously like the old turned upside down, and just as bitterly funny. inventory #32139.
