Description
Before there was a city, there was the mountain.
Long before streets, vineyards and great ships filled Table Bay, the southern tip of Africa belonged to those who followed the seasons, the game and the rains. Over thousands of years, new peoples arrived. Traders crossed oceans. Empires claimed the Cape. Settlers built farms, soldiers defended frontiers, slaves and immigrants reshaped society, and families forged lives beneath the shadow of Table Mountain.
Kaap: A Cape Town Generational Saga follows generations of intertwined families as history unfolds around them—from the first hunter-gatherers and Khoikhoi pastoralists to Dutch settlement, British rule, emancipation, the diamond and gold discoveries, the Anglo-Boer War, apartheid and the birth of modern South Africa.
Rich in historical detail and compelling human stories, this sweeping novel brings to life the triumphs, tragedies and resilience of those who built one of the world's most remarkable cities.
