Book Description | A farmhouse reproduced many times, with slight variations, across a valley. Three small graves have been dug in the front garden and the one in the middle is still empty. A woman in a wheelchair searches through a pile of boxes while her husband hovers around the ruins of ancient buildings, wondering where the animals have disappeared. A young girl - called "Barren Land" behind her back - dreams of love, while an aging school principal intends to end his life. At the entrance to the muddy driveway, a car appears and stops opposite the house like a silver bullet pulsing under the weight of the heat. So begins Craig Higginson's unforgettable thriller, Dream House, set in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, with dark humour, subtle poetic style and extraordinary delicacy. It is a story of a nation and a profound contemplation of memory, growth, meaning, family, love, and loss. |
