In an imaginary South African city, months before the 1994 elections that would bring Nelson Mandela to power, Kristien returns from her exile in London to care for her grandmother, injured in an attack. The old woman, lucid and devoted to memory, passes on the history of the family and the country through tales that blend reality, memory and myth.

For readers of historical and contemporary fiction, interested in South Africa at the end of apartheid and in magical realism.
