the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best Book A gripping,
claustrophobic novel of guilty secrets, obsession and
self-reinvention on the African Savannah from the twice Man

on the dusty edge of town, he is hoping to recover from the loss of
his job and his home in the city. But when he meets Canning - a
shadowy figure from his childhood - and Canning's enigmatic and
beautiful wife, a sinister new chapter in his life begins. Canning
has inherited a vast fortune and built for himself a giant folly in
the veld, a magical place of fantasy and dreams that seduces Adam
and transforms him absolutely, violently - and perhaps forever.
Damon Galgut's magnificent novel evokes a hot and cruel and
claustrophobic world, in which sex and death are never far from the
surface.
