The unfolding saga of a Western Cape town climbing out of the
shadow of slavery into early Victorian settled prosperity. Based on
the history of Clanwilliam in Southern Namaqualand, where he was
brought up, in Chameleon on the Gallows Leipoldt tells the story of
the rehabilitating Everardus and his courageous wife Magriet, of
the legendary Widow Priem, horsebreeder, and her shy strolling
player lover, the Frenchman Pierre. Other goings-on of great moment
are recorded, leading to this unforgettable community's election of
their first parliamentary representatives.
