The Shape of Him


One day a young child arrives at Sara’s door. Apparently the girl is the illegitimate daughter of Herbert, Sara's diamond-hunting former lover. Troubled by the mystery surrounding the girl’s arrival, Sara begins to excavate the past. As the truth unfolds, Sarah must re-evaluate what she holds dear and engage once more with the world around her.
With the backdrop of a rural landscape and characters that are as memorable as they are unexpected, The Shape of Him introduces a writer whose spare, exquisitely crafted prose places her deservedly in the tradition of the best of South African literary fiction.
