Description: Early Excitement for Richard Mason's WHO KILLED PIET BAROL? "A stunning tour de force that will leave you gripped, moved and inspired. A richly atmospheric historical novel that says much about the way we live now. Who Killed Piet Barol? is a book to read again and again: a compelling story written in luminous prose with vividly-realised characters . . . A writer at the height of his powers." --Alex Preston "Utterly entrancing . . . Richard Mason has created an epic narrative in which human failure and decency are opposing forces. Mason entwines the divided racial strands of South Africa in 1914 in a riveting tale seen through the eyes of both colonial whites and tribal black South Africans, as their paths converge in a search for survival and a better life . . . Richard Mason's is one of the outstanding writers of his generation. I wanted to re-reread it immediately." --Geordie Greig, Mail on Sunday "A triumph of a novel . . . Powerfully evocative and wholly absorbing . . . The detail, the colour, the passion--and the story! . . . It's a book that works on many, many levels, and lingers with you gently for many, many days after you reach its extraordinary end." --Gill Penlington, Director of News, CNN "I loved it. Absolutely loved it. The story gripped me from the very first moment. Masterly, magical and brilliant." --Jimmy Mulville, co-founder of Hat Trick Productions
