The History of Man

The second in Windham Campbell Prize winner Siphiwe Gloria Ndlovu's highly acclaimed book series centered on an unnamed Southern African country, but a standalone novel in its own right, The History of Man sketches decades of history through the eyes of Emil Coetzee, on his journey from boyhood to manhood, and the changes that befall him through love, loss, and war. With empathy and a gentle touch, Ndlovu explores what makes a man, a father, and a nation.
