{"product_id":"9781916668287","title":"Immorality Act by Berend Mets","description":"Cape Town, in the 1960s.   Love across the colour bar is a criminal offence punishable by imprisonment.   John Terreblanche, a police reporter seeking redemption, tells the story of a Xhosa nurse, Promise Madiba, a Dutch doctor, Willem Jansen, and a Malay prostitute, Marja de Koning, who engage in a passionate love triangle in the shadow of the Sharpeville massacre, as South Africa lurches towards becoming a Republic.   Violent yet tender, Immorality Act spans from Indonesia to Cape Town and is a moving account of the impact of apartheid, racism and colonialism on lives in the twentieth century, as well as a celebration of the ungovernability of the human spirit.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309548450165,"sku":"9781916668287","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916668287.jpg?v=1762812283","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781916668287","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
