Product Description

Review

Every twist of fate and irony, every turn a life can take - and does - stalks Sara Highbury. The weight of memory burdens her days and her brief experience of happiness settles into a travesty of retribution. South African Gill Schierhout imposes an austere intelligence and sense of regret on this remarkable narrative. If any novel published this year deserves to collect a truckload of honours, it is this one. No reader could be prepared for the complex tale that unfolds. It is a beautiful book, as bleak as love - or whatever it is that passes for love - and as heartbreaking. --Eileen Battersby, Irish Times
