Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. spine creasing, edge wear; n this unforgettable memoir, acclaimed novelist Carolyn Slaughter recalls her childhood in Africa and how the land itself released her from a rage that threatened to destroy her.For Carolyn Slaughter, who grew up in Botswana in the 1950s, it was the Kalahari Desert that made life bearable. Her father was a cruel and violent district commissioner during the last days of British colonial rule, and their family?s stiff English facade masked an unspeakable household secret. But out in the bush, the intensity of the air and the beauty of the landscape touched her with a kind of feverish grace. She would disappear for hours to watch the flat brown river with its water lilies and crocodiles; the thorn trees and the flocks of flamingos; the local women with their babies strapped to their backs. Filled with the majesty and splendor of the ever-changing desert, Before The Knife is the deeply moving story of a girl who endured and transcended her family?s violence to emerge an impassioned observer and explicator of her world.

Hard Back. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition Stated. 222 Pages. Tan boards with black quarter-spine with gold lettering. Dust jacket price $23.00 is unclipped. From the prologue: This is a memoir about my childhood in the Kalahari Desert. It's about my mother, father and my two sisters and our lives in a singularly beautiful place, and it's about my childhood I happened to have found my self in, within a family that seems, at this distance, to have been as helpless about its fate as I was about my own. What happened to me affected all of us -- my mother, my father, my sisters, and me: we all fell apart under the horror of it, and we all tried to pretend that there was no horror. Each of us found our own way of surviving, and each of us got through alone. Our life was much like the lives of everyone else's around us, and we thought and behaved as the English did at that time. No one questioned our behavior, either in the country we had stolen from its natural owners, or in the quiet secret rooms of our daily lives. And because everything was so orderly, there was nothing to point to and say, that was the moment it all began to decay. My older sister and I were sent off to boarding school and I had something of a breakdown, but as it turned out, those events were merely a small part of it, because the moment everything changed only really came the night that my father first raped me. I was six years old. This rape, and the others that followed obliterated in one moment both the innocence of my childhood and the fragile structure of our English family life. We all knew. I showed my mother all the proof she needed, and my older sister was right there in the room with me, in the bed across from mine. But once it had happened we decided it had not happened at all. This silence was not disturbed for decades, and though it was a silence that destroyed us, each in our own way, that isn't the story I want to tell. This is an unforgettable story of the beauty and brutality in a young girl's African childhood and of the ways she found to survive it. Slaughter takes us deep into her experience of Africa and of herself at a time of anguish, but also of recovery. A deeply moving story of a girl who endured and transcended her family's violence to emerge an impassioned observer and explicator of her world. Carolyn Slaughter was born in New Delhi, and spent most of her childhood in the Kalahari Desert of what is now known as Botswana. Soon after leaving Africa in 1961 she wrote her highly acclaimed novel Dreams of the Kalahari soon followed by eight other novels. She lived for many years in London and in 1986 she and her family moved to the United States.
