| Sammanfattning: | "6 December 2013, Johannesburg. Gin has returned home from New York to throw a party for her mother's eightieth birthday; a few blocks away, at the Residence, Nelson Mandela's family prepares to announce Tata Mandela's death... An irascible mother,; an anxious daughter trying to negotiate her birthplace and her past, her former lover, their domestic workers; a homeless hunchback fighting for justice; a mining magnate; a troubled novelist called Virginia - these are the characters who give voice to the city on a day hot with nerves and tension and history. Set across the course of a single day - that of Nelson Mandela's death - Johannesburg is a hymn to an extraordinary city and its people, an ambitious homage to Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway and a devastating personal and political manifesto on love." |
