In the village of Motabeng, Botswana - the place of sand -
Elizabeth and her son have made their new home, far away from their
old life in South Africa. But the past cannot be conveniently left
behind at the border. Even though she may be free to reinvent
herself in this new country, Elizabeth's mixed racial heritage and
urban ways mark her as an outsider. A mind-bending novel that takes
the reader in and out of sanity, this semi-autobiographical work
tracks Elizabeth's struggle to emerge from the oppressive social
situation in which she finds herself and from the nightmares and
hallucinations that torment her.
