"It's not pleasant making Molotov cocktails inside a car - even
just a couple of handfuls of them. The petrol spills when you're
filling the bottles. The motor oil, which you add to make the
contents slightly more sticky - a bit more like napalm - gets
everywhere. The fumes fill the car no matter how many windows you
open. And when you're working with a chain-smoker tempers tend to
flare."
In 1980, after years of civil war, white minority rule in
Zimbabwe came to an end. Within months, preparations were being
made for a genocidal assault on the minority Matabele tribe.
A decade or more later, Daniel Hove, a mild-mannered surgeon
living discontentedly in self-imposed exile in England, gets the
dreaded phone call. His sister is dead, his mother distraught.
He returns home for the funeral. But her death certificate is a
fraud, the doctor who signed it is an arrogant liar, and the
policeman who brought in her body is the thuggish tool of someone
high in the party elite. Daniel's questions result in him being
beaten senseless. Left for dead.
Or was he?
Daniel can't even play a decent game of hospital politics. How
does he expect to survive in the frontier badlands, where it pays
to look away and keep your mouth shut.
From Matabeleland to the tip of the continent and back again,
through the paranoid undertows of southern Africa...
"I can't wait for his next novel. In the meantime, I'm reading
The Rain That Clears The Chaff again. It's that good. It's the best
book I read in 2012; one of the best books you're going to read
this year. It's a gem waiting to be discovered. You won't regret
it." (Joseph Nthini, The South African)
