This historical fiction novel is set in Cape Town in 1899. The story revolves around Cecil Rhodes, a diamond tycoon who believes that the sound of English birdsong can save his life. He recruits Francis Wills, an Oxford don and expert in birdsong, to transport 200 birds to Cape Town. However, the birds refuse to sing upon arrival, leading Wills into a series of intriguing adventures in a country on the brink of war.

The novel is rich with historical context and features real-life characters such as Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll, and Rudyard Kipling. It's a fascinating read for those interested in historical fiction and the complexities of colonialism.
