Book description
In her garden, ensconced in the lush vegetation of the Western
Cape, Clare Wald, world-renowned author, mother, critic, takes up her
pen and confronts her life. Sam Leroux has returned to South Africa to
embark upon a project that will establish his reputation - he is to
write Clare's biography. But how honest is she prepared to be? Was she
complicit in crimes lurking in South Africa's past; is she an
accomplice or a victim? Are her crimes against her family real or
imagined? In the stories she weaves and the truth just below the
surface of her shimmering prose, lie Sam's own ghosts.
