About this ebook
Militia seize an innocent captive and subject him to a nightmarish overland journey that feels as though it will never end. Meanwhile, a lonely white schoolteacher wrestles personal demons whilst attempting to overcome the everyday difficulties of a life in which power cuts last for months at a time, homes are left without running water, brawls break out over even the most basic necessities and an atmosphere of fear and intimidation presides. Which of them is in the gravest danger, and does either have the power to escape their fate?
In this highly original, searing and timely new novel, we witness the devastating effects of a country's economic and moral collapse. In a world where greed, barbarism, anarchy and lawlessness are rife, how do the honest survive? Is it possible to keep a conscience when all those around you have lost theirs?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Very bland first part that is more commentary and documentary style... but stick to it like it was a required reading book in LIT class because the reading experience will become profound. It is a window into someplace we all need to be exposed to; whether you take anything away from it is entirely up to you.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Beautiful, challenging and surprising novel comprised of two interrelated stories, one about a nameless man enslaved by a gang and another about a teacher getting ready to leave his country during a period of extreme civil unrest and disintegration. The two stories came together in a way that really surprised and delighted me. It's a difficult and rewarding book.
