His struggle to find her and save them both plummets them both into the nightmare of a society violently splitting itself into white and black. Spiraling outward from the core image of a cattle killing--the Xhosa people's ritual destruction of their herd in a vain attempt to resist European domination--the novel expands its narrator's search for meaning and love into the America, Europe and South Africa of yesterday and today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Captivating Language and emotion The San Francisco Chronicle <p/>Fiercely beutiful and deeply affecting Vanity Fair<br>
