Description
In its original Afrikaans, titled Toorberg, Van Heerden's novel won all the prizes going in South Africa that year. It draws on the tradition of the plaasroman (farm novel), and transforms it at the same time, to tell the riveting transgenerational story of a family entangled with its ghosts - both living and dead. An utterly compelling read.
