      A dozen years in the making, The Inheritors weaves together the stories of three ordinary South Africans over five tumultuous decades in a sweeping and exquisite look at what really happens when a country resolves to end white supremacy.•Political activist Dipuo, who fought to take down history’s strictest segregationist system.•Dipuo’s daughter Malaika, who excels brilliantly after segregation’s collapse but wrestles with her relationship to her mother and her duty to her country.•And Christo, one of the last White South Africans drafted to fight for apartheid as it crumbled around him.All three,and many others,had to remake their own lives while facing huge questions: What do we owe to history? And what will people who care about being good do when the meaning of right action changes nearly overnight?Observing subtle truths about race and power that extend well beyond national borders, Fairbanksexplores questions that preoccupy so many of us today: How can we let go of our pasts, as individuals and as countries? How should historical debts be paid? And how can a person live an honorable life in a society that–for better or worse–they no longer recognise?‘Brave ... ambitious ... [a story of] admirable people, brave in the face of unbearable poverty and determined to rise out of it ... [Fairbanks’s characters] are also capable of savage introspection and, at times, willing to laugh about themselves.’–Rian Malan, Compact Magazine
