The year is 1977, and the farm has been in the hands of the Williams family since the turn of the century. The farm is managed by Paul Williams, a seemingly harsh and bigoted man, who holds the livelihood of many black labourers in his hands. Maria, the daughter of one of the workers, joins the liberation movement, leaving behind her daughter, Angel in the care of her mother and grandmother who have been in service to the Williams family for years. Angel grows up on the farm during two and a half momentous decades that see a complicated history and legacy unfold into an equally complicated present. An Angel’s Demise deals with a woman’s quest to unearth her identity and assert her independence.

William Kentridge has called it, ‘a rare feast’, and Rian Malan, ‘a very good book, possibly great.’ An illiterate European child is stranded on the southern tip of Africa. The British and the Xhosa have been spilling each other’s blood for eighty years and the kid signs up for the conflict in the hope of steady meals and a few shillings a month. The kid’s new commander, The Captain, is hardly more than a boy himself, but he has money and education behind him. His goal is to prove that the revolutionary Minie Rifle is the most effective killing machine available to the British Empire. His instruments are an assortment of convicts, sailors and drunkards culled from the port at the Cape of Good Hope; his adversary, a strategically brilliant Xhosa General with little left to lose. The Captain and the irregulars depart on a journey towards a grotesque denouement around a copper vat on the slopes of Mount Misery. They move through a landscape prowled by wild beasts, a landscape so savage that the mountains themselves are like ‘ancient artefacts whose listed purpose is slaughter’. As they travel, the distinction between man and animal becomes increasingly blurred. Although it is based closely on first-hand accounts of the 8th Xhosa War, the book creates the effect of an intense defamiliarisation of a history educated South Africans will believe themselves to be au fait with.

From Vuyo’s perspective, the narrative moves backward through the family’s lineage, uncovering the legacy established by their patriarch, the challenges they faced in navigating volatile spaces, and their collective yet varied quest for peace. Each family member grapples with the complexities of identity in a rapidly evolving country, confronting misrepresented histories and untold truths of South Africa’s past.  This multigenerational saga explores the interplay of loss, resilience, and the search for authentic existence, offering a rich and nuanced portrait of a family shaped by—and shaping—the world around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Nozuko+Siyotula\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eNozuko Siyotula\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nozuko Siyotula","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47382555492515,"sku":"9781431431595","price":280.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781431431595_d63ac8c7-8ecd-4a74-b6f8-49f81507e2ff.jpg?v=1776536424"}],"url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/collections\/pan-african.oembed?page=2","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
