An inquest into the death of a child opens up the lives of a whole generation.
The mystically gifted Noah, bastard child of Crazy Tilly Moolman and a wandering water-diviner, fell or was pushed into a drilling shaft. Three sets of narrators disclose subsequent events: the magistrate sent to probe the affair, and members of two Afrikaner families who live in paradisal Toorberg - the proud, grasping Moolmans, and their "skaamfamilie", the brown-skinned, blue-eyed Riets.
First published in Afrikaans as Toorberg by Tafelberg Publishers in 1986. First published in English by Penguin Books (South Africa) in 1989, This is the reprint of 2011. Condition: Good.
