      Winner of the CNA Literary Award

      A Booker Prize Nominee
      Set in the bitter twilight of apartheid in South Africa in the 1970s, "The Smell of" "Apples" is a haunting story narrated by eleven-year-old Marnus Erasmus, who records the social turmoil and racial oppression that are destroying his own land. Using his family as a microcosm of the corroding society at large, Marnus tells a troubling tale of a childhood corrupted, of unexpected sexual defilements, and of an innocence gone astray.
