Shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best Book (Africa
region) When Adam moves into an abandoned house on the dusty edge of
town, he is hoping to recover from the loss of his job and his home in
the city. But when he meets Canning - a shadowy figure from his
childhooh - and Canning's enigmatic and beautiful wife, a sinister new
chapter in his life begins. Canning has inherited a vast fortune and
built for himself a giant folly in the veld, a magical place of
fantasy and dreams that seduces Adam and transforms him absolutely,
violently - and perhaps forever. Damon Galgut's magnificent novel
evokes a hot and cruel and claustrophobic world, in which sex and
death are never far from the surface. It is his most powerful and
unforgettable novel yet.
