A story of betrayal and atonement that spans the lives of two siblings from their nomadic childhood in the Eastern Cape in the 1960s to their adulthood in 2004 in Johannesburg. While the nation struggles to come to terms with its past, Lily struggles with her guilt about her careless betrayal of her brother, Tom, which destroyed his life and their relationship. Tom confronts this fraught past by writing a memoir. But both Lily, and Tom's former lover Miranda, take issue with the way his book remembers their shared pasts. The two women begin to unravel 'the way it really was'. They tell a story of love and loss, of revolutionary fervour - and failure.
Soft cover, fairly good condition. The paper is browning a bit.
