About this book:

M-Net Prize for Prose (2001)

A novel of unbridled imagination and enchantment, Die swye van Mario Salviati is award-winning writer Etienne van Heerden's sweeping tale of a century of secrets, violence, and greed among the closely-tied denizens of a barren Afrikaans outpost. As Garcia Marquez did for Latin America in One Hundred Years of Solitude, van Heerden has transformed his country's tainted - and very real - legacy of colonialism, avarice and racism into a multi-generational parable of magical possibilities and ultimate redemption.
