Overview
A well-balanced mix of Nonfiction, General Fiction, Romance and Mystery in the lightweight softcover format preferred by many readers. Selections are a blend of international authors, chosen for the broadest appeal. There are also some carefully selected backlist titles by proven favorite authors.David Lurie is a scholar fallen into disgrace. After years teaching Romantic poetry at the Technical University of Cape Town, he has an impulsive affair with a student. The affair sours; he is denounced and summoned before a committee of inquiry. Admitting guilt but refusing to repent publicly, he resigns and retreats to an isolated smallholding owned by his daughter Lucy. For a time, the natural rhythms of the farm promise harmony in his discordant life. But the balance of power in the country is shifting, and he and Lucy become victims of a savage and disturbing attack.
