In 1899, four Boer brothers rode off to war. Remarkably, three of them kept diaries. In Bullet in the Heart, Beverley has retrieved the forgotten fates of these brothers in war.
In 1986, seven young men were shot and killed by police in Gugulethu in Cape Town. In Hunting the Seven, the author reveals who plotted their assassination.
Christopher Hope will talk to Beverley about how both books celebrate the saving grace of memory. Only by reviving these forgotten lives do we remember who we are.
Incl. a glass of wine
