Description
In this epic adventure of destiny and betrayal in Namibia, two people pursue their hearts’ desire, with devastating consequences.
Sixteen-year-old Ruben Odendaal knows little about romantic love. His whole life has unfolded within the bounds of the family farm, steeped in the shadows of painful racial tension and volatile politics. Then he meets Isabelle Hoffman, a girl with a universe of promise and possibility in her eyes, and suddenly, anything seems possible. But for all their deep yearning and devotion, Isabelle's mother has other plans, and their love is severed as quickly as it takes bloom.
Decades later, when fate conspires to bring Ruben back into Isabelle’s life, time has only exacerbated their differences. Isabelle is now married to an affluent businessman, while Ruben longs to leave Africa and find a new beginning elsewhere. Namibia has also changed, but violence simmers alongside hate and despair.
Longings deepen and secrets grow. Bound to pursue rekindled feelings, Isabelle and Ruben find the twin wills of power and prejudice before them, demanding an impossible sacrifice.
Advance Praise
Darek James
Enthralling episode of human experiences ranging from savagery to delightful love spells.
This wide-ranging novel is set in Southern Africa and is narrated in the vein of an erstwhile Wilbur Smith with many unexpected twists and turns.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and recommend the experience of a vivid tour through a torrid time in an unforgiving Continent as masterly crafted in a flowing style of writing.
I understand this to be the authors debut work and can foresee him becoming an established writer of renown.
