It is the eve of South Africa's first free elections, and Kristien Muller returns to her native country and her dying grandmother. The old woman needs to tell her stories of the past - an enchanted history, at once intimate and national, rooted equally in myth and reality. But the world is hurtling into a once-unthinkable future; and, as the present closes in, 'Imaginings Of Sand' traces with passionate precision the unforgettable story of a country and a people on the cusp of irrevocable change.
This post-apartheid novel is a complex cocktail of myths, legends, magic, farce, politics and morals. Beautifully descriptive, powerful and enchanting, it rewrites the past in the light of a new present, in a spirit of celebration but with a dark under side that raises questions about oppression's legacy.
