Présentation de l'éditeur

Set in the cane fields of Natal, Ratoons is a portrait of a beautiful but barbaric land. The narrator Helen Angus, like her Indian friends Leela and later Amoya, is caught up in a world of contrasts where violence and hatred vie with love, passion and the always exotic loveliness of the landscape.
