Description

Nada the Lily tells the story of Umslopogaas, a man torn between his loyalty to his family and his duty to the king. At its heart is the complex and often fraught relationship between Umslopogaas and Nada, a woman he loves deeply despite being brought up as her brother.

The narrative is framed by Mopo, Nada's father and Chaka, the Zulu king, who had vowed never to slay him after saving his life when they were outcast wanderers. This unique perspective adds depth to the story, exploring themes of identity, loyalty and the consequences of one's actions.

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century South Africa, Nada the Lily is a gripping tale of love, family and power, with Umslopogaas at its centre.
