Full description for The Heart of Redness

• Camugu, recently returned to Johannesburg and disillusioned by the new democracy, moves to the remote Eastern Cape. There in the nineteenth century a teenage prophetess commanded the Xhosa people to kill their cattle and burn their crops, promising that the spirits of their ancestors would rise and drive the English into the ocean. The failed prophecy split the people in two, with devastating consequences. One hundred and fifty years later, the two groups' decendants are at odds over plans to build a vast casino and tourist resort, and Camugu is soon drawn into their heritage and their future--and into a bizarre love triangle as well.
