It covers a period of almost 125 years in a time of tumultuous political, economic and social change in Southern Africa. A Jewish child is hustled out of Europe in the mid-nineteenth century to escape increasing waves of anti-Semitic ‘justice’ meted out in the ghettos and schtetls of Europe, and comes to South Africa.

It effortlessly combines the historical novel and the picaresque to create a portrait of South Africa's fledgling Jewish community, of the emergent nation and a range of endearing and infuriating eccentrics. It is among the most sweeping, audacious and lively novels every written about this country" - Professor Michael Titlestad University of the Witwatersrand.
