About Casualties of Truth

From the author of Book of the Little Axe, nominated for the Hurston Wright Legacy Award, a riveting literary novel with the sharp edges of a thriller about the abuses of history and the costs of revenge, set between Washington, DC, and Johannesburg, South AfricaPrudence Wright seems to haveit a loving husband, Davis; a spacious home in Washington, DC; and thepast glories of a successful career at McKinsey, which now enables her todedicate her days to her autistic son Roland. When she and Davis head out fordinner with one of Davis’s new colleagues on a stormy summer evening filledwith startling and unwelcome interruptions, Prudence has little reason to thinkthat certain details of her history might arise sometime between cocktails andthe appetizer course.Yet when Davis’s colleague turns out tobe Matshediso, a man from Prudence’s past, she is transported back to theformative months she spent as a law student in South Africa in 1996. As anintern at a Johannesburg law firm, Prudence attended sessions of the Truth andReconciliation hearings, which uncovered the many horrors and human rightsabuses of the Apartheid state, and which fundamentally shaped her sense ofrighteousness and justice. But Prudence experienced personal horrors in SouthAfrica as well, ones she long resolved to keep carefully hidden and ones whichMatshediso threatens now to expose. When Matshediso finally reveals the realreason behind his sudden reappearance, he will force Prudence to examine hermost deeply held beliefs and to excavate inner reserves of resilience andstrength.Lauren Francis-Sharma’s previous two novels haveestablished her as a deft chronicler of history and its intersections withflawed humans struggling to find peace in unjust circumstances. With keen insightand gripping tension, Casualties of Truth explosively minesquestions of whether we are ever truly able to remove the stains of our pastand how we may attempt to reconcile with unquestionable wrongs.
