Description

Set in a South African boarding school in the early 1960s, Cracks is an eerie and elliptical masterpiece that explores the dark underbelly of adolescent passion and tribalism. When Italian student Fiamma Coronna joins the elite girls' swim team, she commands all the coach's attention, but her presence also sparks a chain of events that will have far-reaching consequences.

Forty years later, the former teammates return to the school for a reunion, and the memory of that summer emerges like a long-buried secret. The shocking truth about what really happened to Fiamma is finally revealed, exposing the violence that lurks in the heart of even the most innocent.

This riveting novel, written with polished confidence and eroticism, conjures up the wildness of the veld and the drama of adolescence. A disturbing yet compelling tale of passion, power and the darkness that can lie beneath the surface of seemingly idyllic worlds.
