FALSE BAY

While some readers will remember FALSE BAY as a daring debut novel, others will remember it as one of the most beautiful books of literary fiction they have ever read and worthy of nothing less than 5 stars. The waters of False Bay yield the many voices of the dead, eager to tell the stories of their lives in their own words, complete with their lusts and loves, queerness, passions, and searches for joy in a world full of hunger, pain, suffering and sadness. One would have to be a robot to come away from this novel unmoved by each and every voice. Unique in its unusual narrative style and for some, occasionally shocking content, FALSE BAY is outstanding for its sensitivity to human needs. An unforgettable novel.
