'Yes, these men are like vultures, Sally, ' opined Stewart. 'Vultures circle incessantly, tenaciously, seeking easy pickings; swooping fast, before anything else gets a chance. Vultures are scavengers, just as these men are. Look how they swooped upon your patch of land; thus circle the vultures.' A well written, all-encompassing narrative set in the Orange Free State, South Africa from the 1960s. Life was harsh for black people; racial harmony was taboo. Government gave remote tribal trust-lands to the Matanatwini people, and despite attempts to convince the world of their generosity, they never disclosed that the area was infertile wasteland, unwanted by the whites. When Charles Herries inadvertently entered the setting, the hopelessness and impoverishment of the Matanatwini horrified him. Therefore, determined to help, Charles initiates an extraordinary turnaround and the land becomes prosperous; until incorrigible businessmen, supported by government officials, became enraged at witnessing black people being successful. But Charles and the Matanatwini were not ready to give up all they had struggled and strived towards that easily. Readers will enjoy fast-paced twists, with nail-biting crescendos throughout, drawing one profoundly into the thought-provoking South Africa at that time, prompting readers to keep turning the pages to discover what happens next
