| Publisher Description: A classic Afrikaans novel full of romance, adventure, and compassion, translated for the first time into English In a place near Mozambique, drought is causing devastation. Hosts of desperate natives seek refuge in a forgotten outpost, an underresourced clinic run by a small group of volunteersand courageous nuns. But the human flow soon becomes too much for them, and there is no help from outside. Within the small isolated community, a plan takes shape that is as outrageous as it is inspired a last bid to acquire more supplies.This taleis about the people and the animals of Africa in the heightsof their beauty and the depths of their despair. It is a love storyand a meditation on the mystery of our powers and the limitations that we share with our brothers, the animals." |
