Winner of both the Olive Schreiner Prize and the CNA Literary Award, The Castaways is a strikingly original novel.

The story is set in the eighteenth century and expresses the themes of colonial conquest, the paranoia of terrorism, and the eternal quest for the self, in superbly lyrical passages.
Sheila Fugard was born in England, and moved to South Africa at the age of eight. She is married to Athol Fugard and lives in California USA.
