Beschreibung

Showcasing African Gothic at its finest, this hypnotic novel tangles together classic texts of madness and female rebellion alongside elements of the jingoistic novels of Victorian adventurer H. Rider Haggard. The result is an extraordinary reinvention of colonial and patriarchal perspectives.The unnamed narrator spins a web back through a century of colonial possession - political, spiritual and mental - to imagine the stories of conquest and captivity, control and disruption, from the perspective of the women and men 'half-broken' by the stigmas attached to race and mental illness. Equally 'half-broken' are those dehumanised by their insane greed for dominion and treasure.With trademark compassion and complexity, Siphiwe Gloria Ndlovu balances the humanity of her characters against the cruelty of empire, making for a spellbinding and literally haunting account of love and magic.
