This nuanced and well-wrought novel is set in South Africa, where author Perceval Gibbon spent much of his life working as a journalist. It follows the intertwined lives of a doctor and his family, as well as some of the neighboring residents of nearby villagers, presenting an interesting look at the often-tense race relations in the country.
