The Thirstland (W.A. De Klerk)

W. A. de Klerk is a Cape Afrikaner who has already published a useful and sympathetic study of Afrikaner history and culture, The Puritans in Africa. This book is set in the form of a historical novel. Told in the first person by Will Jordan, a Cape Coloured, it recounts the leading role he played in the saga of one of the last of the Afrikaner treks, from the Transvaal to the dry lands of southern Angola and northern Namibia, in search of the final elusive utopia.
