Description
A panoramic novel set against the tumultuous backdrop of South Africa's apartheid era. Journalist Luke Mahoney is accused of treason following an illicit affair and forced to flee into exile, only to return when the country finally moves towards change. As the ANC is unbanned and Nelson Mandela is released, a ghost from his past returns, threatening to upend his new life with Afrikaner academic Katrina de la Rey. The novel is a gripping portrayal of a nation in turmoil, marked by violence, fear, and forgiveness. With unforeseeable speed, South Africa braces itself for its first historic elections, sending shockwaves through the lives of those caught up in the maelstrom. This is a story of love, loyalty, and redemption, set against the complex and often treacherous landscape of a nation on the brink of transformation. Through Luke's journey, the author offers a penetrating insight into the racial oppression and bloodshed that defined this period in South African history. A gripping and thought-provoking read, "Roots of Outrage" is a compelling exploration of one man's struggle to find his place in a world torn apart by conflict and change.
