Weaving together many ideas about reconciliation after war, this novel introduces characters—mostly artists and activists—who, after the liberation of South Africa, try to understand what they fought for and why. At the center of the story is a South African dance troupe that has recently returned from Chile. Broadening the debate, the members of this group report on violence against native people on another continent and provide a parallel that enlarges the South African perspective.
