Casualties of Truth
By Lauren Francis-Sharma

A brutal history lesson in the guise of a thriller, Francis-Sharma’s third novel, about the horrific legacies of South African apartheid, jumps back and forth between 1996 Johannesburg and 2018 Washington, D.C., where the wife in a wealthy Black “power couple” encounters a shadowy figure from her past. Beneath the tightly plotted narrative, the author explores the nature and function of amnesty and human rights.
