Omar's secret may be shocking to his friends and family, but his is by no means the only one. His wife, his nephew, his brother, even his therapist, all have things they'd prefer to keep hidden--but like pulling a loose thread on a very old and fragile seam, the revelation of Omar's past begins an unraveling of secrets and lies going back generations, with tragic results. Dangor tells his story with economy and grace, offering up love, madness, and betrayal in language as lovely as the themes are grim. --Alix Wilber
"Extraordinary. A dense surrealist fable. . . . This is the essence of the emerging South African version of 'magic realism,' which could be described as 'realistic fantasy.'"
--Mike Nicol, author of The Ibis Tapestry
"A mesmerizing, mythical work that proves that South Africa is a much deeper and more imaginative place than the headlines would have us believe."
--Ariel Dorfman, author of Death and the Maiden
