Winner of The Sunday Times CNA Literary Awards, Marguerite Poland's novel "That Woman" is a powerful exploration of the complexities of Victorian colonialism. Set in the 1870s, the story follows Stephen Mzamane, a young man torn from his parents and tribe and chosen by the Anglican church to train at the Missionary College in Canterbury. Despite his brilliance, Stephen faces numerous challenges, including his unresolved relationship with his family and people, the condescension of church leaders towards their native pastors, and the unforgettable presence of That Woman, seen only once in a photograph. As he embarks on a mission to find his mother and deliver a devastating message, Poland vividly recreates the polarized and duplicitous world of Victorian colonialism, highlighting its betrayal of the very people it claimed to enlighten. "That Woman" is a masterful work that delves into the human cost of imperialism and sheds light on the enduring legacy of colonialism in South Africa.
