Many of the settings are South African, yet such a variety of voices is heard: the child fleeing from the civil war through the wild animals of the Kruger National Park, the carefree teenager who falls innocently in love with a terrorist, the middle-aged cynic who puts his find of a valuable ring on a beach to a strange purpose. There is a grim fairy tale about total security systems in the happily-ever-after, the parable of a Jewish watch maker emigrating from pogroms to a country where others are being persecuted, the rites of passage into manhood by parachute and betrayal, and the ironies of an opulent "safe house" love affair. *** Quantity Available: 1.
