Tsamma Season is set at the turn of the last century. An intrepid couple spurn their former lives to take on the challenge of building a home in the Kalahari Desert. The family’s story is told by their precocious daughter,Emma. Born and raised in the desert, Emma’s love for the haunting isolation of her home and for the singular people and animals with whom she shares it becomes the driving force of her life’s journey. Unlike her previous fi ction, Madlands and Katy’s Kid, which were tough, gritty accounts of contentious social issues (schizophrenia and abuse, respectively), with her third novel, Roz Handler has moved on to less dramatic narrative material. Tsamma Season explores the themes of love and loss of love,challenge and betrayal. Handler’s prose vividly evokes the limitless horizons and rugged beauty of the Kalahari. « Back
