Synopsis
In the fiery environment of an election season, with tensions stoked by an unrelenting heatwave, Danny Walker goes about the business of being a carefree boy. But when a horrific act of violence is visited on his family, his sense of innocence is shattered and his grip on reality slowly begins to fracture. In lean, lyrical prose—reminiscent of the work of J.M. Coetzee and Cormac McCarthy—Zimbabwean writer Ian Holding delivers a mesmerizing coming-of-age tale of guilt and responsibility set within the fault-lines of modern Africa.
