Description
The Madonna of Excelsior by Zakes Mda is a compelling South African historical novel set in the Free State town of Excelsior, beginning with the notorious 1971 Immorality Act case and following its characters through the apartheid era and into the political changes of the 1990s.
Mda explores race, identity, family, politics and the lasting effects of apartheid through a story that is at times tragic, humorous and deeply thought-provoking. A strong choice for readers interested in South African history, apartheid, contemporary African literature and historical fiction.
