Description
In the raw landscape of post-apartheid South Africa, a once-respected professor finds his life irrevocably altered by scandal and loss. Disgraced and stripped of his academic position, he retreats to the remote farm of his daughter, Lucy, seeking solace and a new beginning. However, the harsh realities of their new world, marked by violence and profound social shifts, soon shatter their fragile peace. This powerful novel explores themes of power, vulnerability, and the complex legacy of a nation in transition, as a father grapples with his own failings and the uncertain future.
