The Afrikaner novel

By Arianna Dagnino

When a car-jacking in Johannesburg leads to the death of her colleague and lover, Zoe du Plessis, a paleontologist of Afrikaner origin, is confronted with her family’s secret. As she heads for the Kalahari Desert in search of early human fossils, Zoe embarks on an inner journey into the sense of guilt haunting her people. Meaningful encounters with a San Bushman shaman, a legendary but troubled writer, a Zulu Border War veteran, and her ancestors’ diaries will reshape Zoe’s sense of identity. “Insightfully and authentically crafted and beautifully written, a timely story of memory, destiny and self-will in the world of post-apartheid South Africa and its origins.” — Dr Iain Edwards, South African contemporary historian. © Arianna Dagnino.
