Description

Ingrid Winterbach's To Hell with Cronjé is a poignant exploration of friendship and camaraderie set against the backdrop of the Boer War. Two scientists, Reitz Steyn and Ben Maritz, find themselves in a desperate situation after being accused of desertion and treason. As they await judgment from General Bergh, their despair at ever returning to their families reaches its peak. Sent on a bizarre mission, they are forced to confront the futility of war and the founding moments of the South African nation. Winterbach's novel is a thought-provoking re-examination of these themes, rendered in poetic prose. Translated from Afrikaans by Elsa Silke, To Hell with Cronjé has won numerous awards, including the M-Net Prize and the University of Johannesburg Prize for Creative Writing.
