The Madonna of Excelsior"A generous, patient, wry and intelligent voice that] suggests not just a writer who can seduce us through beautiful language and unfailing humor. We also encounter a writer who has the power to shock and frighten us, to astound and anger and unsettle us In short, his is a voice for which one should feel not only affection but admiration."

Selection, Summer Reading, New York Times Book Review

In 1971, nineteen citizens of Excelsior in South Africa's white-ruled Free State were charged with breaking apartheid's Immorality Act, which forbade sex between blacks and whites. Taking this case as raw material for his alchemic imagination, Zakes Mda tells the story of one irrepressible fallen madonna, Niki, and her family, at the heart of the scandal.

Beautiful brown privacy screen!
Color: Brown, Size: 3 Panel, Color: Brown, Size: 3 Panel
Why did you pick this product vs others?: The measurements were perfect for what I was looking for.  The length and width are the same as my rattan raised garden bed which I have placed in front of the screen on the deck.  This secures the screen so there is no issue of weather conditions. I have been looking for weeks for a privacy screen at every possible product and combination. and almost gave up when I noticed the measurements of the screen would fit behind my raised bed!  Now I am going to plant some flowers in it.  This is a terrific buy for me.  i am so happy! Looks great: The perfect size, color, and design match my brown deck rattan furniture. Ease of assembly: No assembly which is nice in this hot weather! Room divider: It provides much needed privacy

Attractive well made and balanced
Color: Dark Mocha, Size: 3 Panel, Color: Dark Mocha, Size: 3 Panel
It would be extravagant to purchase another 3 panel divider but had gotten it so I didn’t have to look at the hallway from where I sit in the living room. It is stable. The taller size comes with a hefty shipping fee equal to the purchase price. This blocks the hallway and is attractive. My cat can push one panel to get through the passage without tipping the screen. The walnut color is a complement so I will keep it (even though I think it is overpriced

Great for hiding items!
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel
This is great! I use it to hide my cats litter box in a small apartment. Put a plant in front of it and no one knows what it is hiding.
