Eyes of the Sky

In her award-winning novel, Eyes of the Sky, Rayda Jacobs explores the complex and interconnected lives of the settlers and the enslaved in eighteenth century South Africa. Controlled by the Dutch for over a century, The Cape of Good Hope has witnessed the horrific enslavement of over sixty thousand men and women. In this impactful historical novel, we follow the saga of the Kloots; an old farming family recently settled on the edge of Cape Colony in the late eighteenth century. As they struggle to live off the the harsh, barren landscape, tensions begin to rise to breaking point. While some are determined to despise the indigenous inhabitants of the Cape, one young member of the family, Harman, takes it upon himself to bridge the gap between the two groups and prevent them from mutual destruction. To fail risks the extinction of them all. Full of dark history and unexpected twists, Eyes of the Sky is a remarkable tale of identity, betrayal, forbidden love, and the fusing of people and cultures.
