About This Book
In plague-ridden eighteenth-century Philadelphia, a young black itinerant preacher searches for a mysterious, endangered African woman. His struggle to find her and save them both plummets him into the nightmare of a society violently splitting itself into white and black, white over black.
Spiraling outward from its core image of the Xhosa people's ritual destruction of their herd in a vain attempt to resist European domination - the cattle killing - the novel expands its narrator's search for meaning and love into the America, England, and South Africa of yesterday and today.
