The Impostor by Damon Galgut
The first new novel from Damon Galgut - 'the bold, fresh voice of South African fiction' (Observer) - since the Man-Booker-shortlisted The Good Doctor. The Impostor is simply the finest work of fiction he has ever written: a gripping, claustrophobic novel of guilty secrets, obsession and self-reinvention on the African Savannah.
