Karoo Plainsong is a historical novel by the South African author Barbara Mutch, first published in 2010. It is set largely in the Karoo region of South Africa and explores themes of race, identity, family, and music across the turbulent decades of the 20th century.
The book is notable for combining a deep sense of placethe Karoo landscapewith a personal story shaped by the social realities of segregation and apartheid. The novel centres on Ada, a young Black woman growing up in the Karoo in the early 20th century.
