"INTENSELY DAZZLING...NOT A BLACK AND WHITE STORY, A RAINBOW STORY WITH THE RICH COLORS OF LIVES IN TURMOIL. - Elizabeth Newton, author of 'View from the Sixth Floor' IT'S THE SPRING OF '76. For Elsa, her affair with Stanwell may prove lethal, as she's white and he's black, and they dared to fall in love in apartheid South Africa. The terrified lovers are the prey in a deadly hunt from the golden city of Johannesburg to the exotic but dangerous wilds of the African bushveld. The Zebra Affaire is a thrilling fusion of romance and suspense-laced with rich South African history. The tension is palpable as the persecuted couple race against time and bigotry. Reviewers rave about this intimate, yet dangerous love story; that's set against a canvas that is both vividly authentic and powerfully provocative. "More than a daring, multiracial romance set in a racist 1976 South Africa, that nation on the turbulent cusp of collapsing due to apartheid; The Zebra Affaire grips your soul and won't let go. Never mind zebras, think lions, raw and roar." - Geoff Nelder, author of 'ARIA: Left Luggage' WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT "THE ZEBRA AFFAIRE" "I just finished reading this book and it's truly a masterpiece on so many levels. As a South African who left S.A. in the late 70's, I can attest to the authenticity of Mr. Fine's historical and social facts, as well as life as it existed there at that time... It is a beautiful, heartfelt and very complete love story of the "no-no" kind, written magnificently by Mark Fine." ILANA EDELSTEIN Author, "The Patron Way" "I see Pulitzer Prize material here. This is fascinating history-with such insight that I've been thinking of the common ground Southerners from the US has shared with South Africans. This (novel) is fantastic, relevant, and an incredible contribution to literature, history, anthropology, and all of the humanities. Mark Fine is brave and brilliant." JEANNE MARY ALLEN Author & Writer "The Zebra Affaire is a fast-paced, suspenseful tale about the racial divide in the police state of South Africa. The story involves a mixed race relationship during apartheid, riots, tribes at war and the horrors of an unfair and unyielding society. It's a love story, it's a societal change story and it's a war story all at once, the kind of page turner that some of us devour hungrily, anxious for the next thrilling bite." CAROL CASSARA, Book Recommendations to Warm You "In the best tradition of historical fiction, Fine has woven the story of several intriguing individuals into the larger fabric of a troubled time. In this case, a biracial couple's story is at the center of late 1970s apartheid South Africa, the author's descriptions remain compelling. Fine's first novel brings his experience of growing up in South Africa to the page with clarity and conviction."
