| Summary: | Daring in both form and content, this novel of belief and betrayal shuttles between two connected moments in history and two countries linked by their colonial past and globalized present. A young, missing student's friends try to reconstruct his life as they search for him, looking back to South Africa's first democratic elections in 1994 and to the expat communities of post--September 11 London. What emerges is a picture of a man insisting on a common humanity and finding ways to unify ideologies even as his world is being divided.<br>
