About This Item
(Johannesburg: Jonathan Ball, 2005) 1868422259. 221 x 153 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. (vi) + 350. Lamination lifting very slightly from corner of upper cover; penned annotation to final page of Glossary. Very good condition. "Waiting for the Moon is a riveting story that spans the generations and the years between the 1890s and the 1950s, moving swiftly across the landscape of southern Africa. It is a novel of displacement, exile and the search for identity wherein Keegan masterfully prises open and explores the inner demons of South Africa's divided and conflicted past. It is a story of lost dreams and sad endings, of endurance and survival, yet it is told with verve, compassion and humour. ... Tim Keegan has achieved an extraordinary feat in combining the genre of the novel with sharp historical insights and attention to detail. ... Waiting for the Moon, in its richness and authenticity of detail, is a feat of the literary and the historical imagination ..." .
