Who Killed Piet Barol?
Who Killed Piet Barol? | Richard Mason
4 posts | 3 read | 16 to read
1913. Piet Barol and Stacey are navigating the turbulence and opportunities of colonial South Africa in a quest for comfort and riches. The Land Act has turfed thousands of black families out of their homes and Piet is appalled by their treatment. But after five years of decadent living, Piet and Stacey are short of cash and in need of wood for the furniture business they have founded. So Piet sets off to pursue a fabled tree, a journey which will take him deep into the homelands of the Xhosa clan who believe that the spirits of their ancestors reside in the magical trees. When charm and wit fail, Piet resorts to darker tactics to get what he wants. And this sets off a chain of events that will put him on a collision course with a power greater than any he knows: Mother Nature.

#TBRtemptation post! What an interesting cover, and an interesting premise too. Piet & his wife have lived in 1910s South Africa posing as a wealthy French aristocrat & American railroad heiress. But they're far from French & rich. His charm is about to run out, so they attempt to begin a furniture business. The thing is, the wood comes from a sacred forbidden forest in the Xhosa's lands. How does one steal a forest? #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

Pretty fing awesome. Richard Mason rigorously researched the history behind this novel, and does a tremendous job of getting inside his characters' heads to show the evolution of their thinking and how it affects their actions.
