Author, Nelson Makhubane Tshabalala has wonderfully narrated this novel which is feisty, witty and full of yearning. The story is complicated as life itself, but is richly satisfying.
A vivid portrait of a wealthy businessman and former politician, Smangaliso Mkhize and his family in disarray. This intricate plot tells about a married couple living in suburban Sandton city, South Africa whose marriage goes dangerously awry when the wife researches more about her late mother.
Smangaliso, unable to stop thinking about his lovebird, decides to invite her to his posh mansion. He sweeps her off her feet and into his bed, a sexual encounter he would recall in flashbacks for many years to come. Wild and thrilling love and sexual relations ensued and he is delighted by the sexual attention he received from his lover particularly during their dating period.
But now so many years later, his delight is mixed with feelings of guilt at the same time about a shocking revelation that has been unearthed about their past. Being married to a loving and devoted wife is regarded as a blessing but now this terrible secret – and unforgivable one – threatens to tear their perfect life and love apart.
This devastating discovery triggers much anger and frustration on the latter part of their marriage and in the days that follow. Sometimes the personal choices we make will have grave consequences for one another as a couple and for others.
This is a tense, suspenseful novel set against the harsh and beautiful backdrop of late 20th century. A story of treachery, betrayal, love and redemption, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
