Beers & Books CCLXVII – Mankell: The White Lioness
The White Lioness* |
Henning Mankell (3 February 1948 – 5 October 2015)
* Unlike the German synopsis of this excellent political thriller the English one is suboptimal, to put it politely. F.e., the Broederbond is not about to orchestrate the murder of de Klerk but of Mandela.
