  A schoolboy playing truant bumps into his revered father coming out of the cinema with a woman. An ordinary mishap; but the father is no ordinary man, and the family, threatened by the affair, is no ordinary family. This is a passionate story; love between a man and two women, between father and son, and something even more demanding - a love of freedom. It is a highly intimate drama of personal conflict and public struggle in the evolutionary events that, at great cost to people like these, have brought about change in South Africa.

The father is a colored schoolteacher who has become a hero in the struggle against apartheid; his companion is a white activist fiercely dedicated to the cause. A bold, unnerving tour de force .--The New York Times Book Review.
