About
This title covers the first half-century or so of Dutch settlement at the Cape, opening with a view from the inside of a Khoi nation, the Goringhaicona, under the leadership of Autshumao, dubbed "Chief Harry" by early English visitors. Each of the sections of the novel is focused on a man involved with Autshumao's great niece, Pieternella.
