A Story Like the Wind (Vintage classics) - Tapa blanda

With the rescue of a Bushman from a horrible death, life at Hunter's Drift changes dramatically for Francois. His subsequent secret friendship with the outcast Xhabbo; the strange pilgrimage to the distant kraal of uLangalibalela, the greatest of all witchdoctors; and his extraordinary encounter and relationship with Luciana Monckton are interwoven with the magnificent and mysterious happenings in the African bush. Highlighting the conflicts between the African and European cultures, the story gathers pace and culminates in a strangely-omened climax.
