However, London and its literary cliques are a far cry from Natasha's Karoo hometown: through no fault of her own, she is disqualified, and their affair ends in tragedy. Terence, whose best friend accuses him of suffering from a Good Samaritan complex, now takes an interest in a rough sleeper and his dog that he meets outside a tube station. This turns out to be a complex undertaking. As the ghosts of his past relationships are visited upon him, Terence is forced to reconsider the meaning of human connections - how our lives touch, and are touched by, others. Michiel Heyns's Each Mortal Thing shows us the metropolis through fresh eyes, calculates the cost of acts of kindness, and speaks to the grace that friendship can bestow on us."--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-[228]). 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a South African fiction $y 21st century. 650 0 $a South African literature $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Friendship $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320010519.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=31B0874AE67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
