An imaginative feat of the highest order … No one sensitive to the poetry of a wild, unique country could fail to be moved by Landsman’s evocation of the land of her birth. She shows us a harsh but dazzling landscape where ‘there is always something to poison, or, shoot, or chase.’ She takes us to the Cango Caves and brings each of their caverns to life. Across the miseries of contemporary South Africa, Anne Landsman opens a beautiful feather fan.
