520 1 $a"After a freak accident, Douglas's twin brother is dead and his family's fragmentation begins. His mother packs up their home in Cape Town and takes him to a backwater town in the semidesert Karoo region, where she withdraws into her painting. Douglas, a city kid in an insular community, makes only two friends: a beautiful girl named Marika, with an adventurous spirit and a tyrannical father, and an old garage worker named Moses, with a junkyard Volvo and dreams of driving away to Cape Town." "Against the backdrop of the bitter conflict of 1970s South Africa, Douglas develops a clearer insight into himself and his place in the world, a world where dreams and reality meet in a surprising twist."--BOOK JACKET.
