fiction

Review From: New York Times

Ten years after leaving South Africa, Eva van Rensburg returns to her dying father, a violent stuttering man whose terrible secret Eva has kept since she was a child, and to Skinner's Drift, the family farm, a tough stretch of land on the Limpopo River where jackal and leopards still roam.

Author is from South Africa and the book spans the ending of apartheid. Some difficult and challenging sections, but should make for a good discussion
