Description
A year ago, Patrick Winter was in Namibia completing his military service. Now, during the first free elections, Patrick has returned to the country he defended; the place where he fell in love for the first and only time.
With the country poised to change forever, Patrick is forced to revisit his past and scale the wall that he has built around his painful memories of love, war, and loss.
The Beautiful Screaming of Pigs by Damon Galgut intricately explores themes of love, memory, and the indelible marks of history on the human spirit.
