He believes that these visions are sending him a message, and sets off to follow his peculiar guides across the vastness of the Great Karoo.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA journey that begins with a sense of purpose deteriorates into a manic and unpredictable expedition. When Gilbert's path crosses that of the Howlers, a trio of ex-convicts touring the country with violin, trumpet and guitar, he is steered to dinosaur parks and backroad bars in the South African hinterland. Yet, as his travels unfold, it becomes clear that his past cannot be outpaced so easily.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA love affair in Kuils River offers respite, but in the end Gilbert must confront the question: what is the message in the signs he sees all around him?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn glimmering prose infused with humour and pathos, Tom Dreyer's The Long Wave  is a tale of transformation, friendship and the mystery at the heart of ordinary life.\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+Tom+Dreyer\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eTom Dreyer\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tom Dreyer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47375832580259,"sku":"9781415208953","price":280.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781415208953_5b45d99d-f391-427b-8878-560b2434f98e.jpg?v=1776531525","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781415208953","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
