About this book

Sirkusboere | Historical & Mythological Fiction

Sonja Loots

Sonja Loots’s novel tells the tale of how former Boer fighters participated in Fillis’s circus – on the one hand the story of a people who turned their worst trauma into a circus, on the other hand the story of someone who knew how to exploit the human appetite for spectacular violence.

With much originality she develops this material to deliver not only a gripping historical novel, but also a commentary on current life in South Africa.
