{"product_id":"9781770103863","title":"The Texture of Shadows","description":"\"It is 1989, a high point of hope in South Africa's political history. The nation is abuzz with rumours of Nelson Mandela's imminent release, the dismantling of guerrilla camps and the possibility of peace. A band of exiled People's Army soldiers returns to South Africa. After years in Angola they think the change they have been fighting for is finally about to become a reality. They have been ordered to carry and deliver a sealed trunk to an unspecified destination. It is a mission that makes them a target as different parties set out to separate the men from the trunk and its mysterious contents, setting the stage for several fierce conflicts. The Texture of Shadows explores a world of hardened guerrilla fighters, corrupt police officers, ex-political prisoners and the victims of abuse of a system of bannings and beatings. But there are also cracks in this steel-edged world that hope, love and beauty can fill as the reader is swept up in the story of Chaplain Nerissa Rodrigues and her fellow soldiers\"--Page 4 of cover.","brand":"Booksite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39329419427955,"sku":"9781770103863","price":323.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/products\/texture-of-shadows-m-langa-28154006962291.jpg?v=1638019620","url":"https:\/\/readerswarehouse.us\/products\/9781770103863","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
