SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE, 2003
An intense and sizzling novel seething with betrayal and political upheaval.
A year ago Patrick Winter was in Namibia completing his military service. Now, during the first free elections, Patrick has returned to the country he defended; the place where he fell in love for the first and only time. With the country poised to change forever, Patrick is forced to revisit his past and scale the wall that he has built around his painful memories of love, war and loss.
