Set between the mountains and seas of Cape Town's False Bay, this sweeping novel traces the lives of survivors, outcasts, lovers, and ghosts. From Holocaust memories to apartheid's scars, from convent walls to drag balls, each voice tells a fragment of a larger story about loss, belonging, and the search for truth. Haunted yet luminous, polyphonic yet deeply intimate, False Bay is a South African epic of family, faith, queerness, and the sea that binds them all. For readers of Zoë Wicomb, Damon Galgut, and Toni Morrison, this is a daring novel where history collides with myth, and the living are never far from the dead.
