The Long Silence of Mario Salviati

When Ingi Friedlander travels to Yearsonend in the rugged interior of South Africa to purchase a statue, its eccentric sculptor, Jonty Jack, does not want to sell – he says it was not his creation, but simply appeared miraculously. Ingi decides to stay and try to win Jonty`s trust, but soon realises that the townspeople suspect she has come to seek a different treasure – the legendary wagon of gold brought in by defeated Boer soldiers. Gradually she prises open the secrets of the past, secrets of greed, racism and vaulting ambition, whose key lies with the Italian POW Mario Salviati – deaf, dumb and now blind. Watched over by a very earthy angel and long dead humans, Ingi forces a resolution with the past and faces up to her own future.
