520 _a1927 South Africa. The Immorality Act is passed, prohibiting sexual intercourse between Europeans (white people) and natives (Black people), Married couple Alisa and Abram find their bond in tatters. Abram, a South African winemaker, will tell you that things went wrong when his wife stopped loving him, when his children couldn't be citizens of their country of birth, and his country tried to put him in prison and steal his vote and estate. Alish will tell you that things went wrong much earlier than that: when her ancestors were brought to the Caribbean islands as slaves, and that after her birth parents died she was adopted by an Englishman who raised her in the United Kingdom. There's also Dido, their troubled eldest daughter; an angry man; and a woman who kept a secret she shouldn't have. -- adapted from Goodreads info
