It is the early 1990s, the dying days of apartheid, and in a South African beachfront supermarket a bomb explodes, killing six people. Anthea Hardy, a journalist who loses her boyfriend in this attack, is shocked into confronting the personal effects of political violence. Working together with the bomber’s mother Dora Makken, Anthea proceeds to unravel the knotted bloodlines that connect Dora and her son Joseph to the country’s troubled past—a past that stretches all the way back to the involvement of the Irish in the Anglo-Boer War. A spell-binding novel about the unsettling birth of the new South Africa.
