Description
Up Against the Night by Justin Cartwright is a gripping psychological odyssey that delves into the complexities of family history and its lasting impact. The legacy of Piet Retief, a South African leader whose life was marked by tragedy, continues to haunt his descendant Frank McAllister. As Frank's daughter Lucinda returns from rehab with a mysterious boy in tow, their idyllic family trip to South Africa becomes a journey of self-discovery and confrontation with the past. The author masterfully weaves together personal conflict, intrigue, and historical context to create an enthralling tale that explores the tangled threads of South Africa's troubled history. With tremendous color and insight, Cartwright crafts a story that is both original and gripping, shedding light on the darker aspects of family myth and the violence that still encroaches on their lives.
