COVENANT, THE James A., MICHENER

James A. Michener's masterly chronicle of South Africa is an epic tale of adventurers, scoundrels, and ministers as the best and worst of two continents carve an empire out of a vast wilderness. From the Java-born Van Doorn family springs two great branches: one nurtures lush vineyards; the other settles the interior to become the first Trekboers and Afrikaners. The Nxumalos, inhabitants of a peaceful village unchanged for centuries, unite warrior tribes into the powerful Zulu nation. And from the wealthy Saltwoods come missionaries and settlers who join the masses to influence the wars and politics that ravage a nation. As their rivalries and passions spill across the land, The Covenant tells a story of courage and heroism, love and loyalty, cruelty and betrayal as generations fight to forge a new world.
