The Kingdom of the Karoo
Author: Sheila Coleman
Publisher: Partridge Africa
ISBN: 1482863049
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Three diverse women come together. With their dynamism and inventive thinking, theyve created a herbal nursery in the remote Karoo of South Africa. In this harsh, austere, but beautiful land, they nurture a successful business. Annette Padstow is the mistress of a large working farm, married to Simon. Theirs has been a lasting, passionate marriage. Her three children, now away at boarding school, have left a gap in her life. Marilese van Acht, a widow in her sixties, is looking for new horizons to fill her days. Sarie Davids is a herbalist, poor and battling to survive in a dusty, run-down township. Sarie has secrets of powerful remedies. She produces a tincture that arrests and even seems to reverse the curse of memory loss. The potential is huge. Philip Marshall, a local lawyer, greedy and unscrupulous, hears about this miracle cure and wants it for his own. The ladies of Samarann pit their wits against his treachery, and the tension mounts as he gets more and more desperate, until tragedy occurs and lives are changed forever.

The Columbia Guide to South African Literature in English Since 1945
Author: Gareth Cornwell
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231130465
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
From the outset, South Africa's history has been marked by division and conflict along racial and ethnic lines. From 1948 until 1994, this division was formalized in the National Party's policy of apartheid. Because apartheid intruded on every aspect of private and public life, South African literature was preoccupied with the politics of race and social engineering. Since the release from prison of Nelson Mandela in 1990, South Africa has been a new nation-in-the-making, inspired by a nonracial idealism yet beset by poverty and violence. South African writers have responded in various ways to Njabulo Ndebele's call to "rediscover the ordinary." The result has been a kaleidoscope of texts in which evolving cultural forms and modes of identity are rearticulated and explored. An invaluable guide for general readers as well as scholars of African literary history, this comprehensive text celebrates the multiple traditions and exciting future of the South African voice. Although the South African Constitution of 1994 recognizes no fewer than eleven official languages, English has remained the country's literary lingua franca. This book offers a narrative overview of South African literary production in English from 1945 to the postapartheid present. An introduction identifies the most interesting and noteworthy writing from the period. Alphabetical entries provide accurate and objective information on genres and writers. An appendix lists essential authors published before 1945.
