In this haunting, lyrical novel told from three perspectives, Sarel has just witnessed the violent murder of her parents. But she is not completely alone on the drought-ridden land.

Parched was deeply powerful story of loss, mistrust, and survival, full of intense imagery and musical language. I read it all in one sitting, because there was no way I was going to be able to put it down.
A compelling debut novel that titillatingly straddles a line between fantasy and reality and should prompt mmany questions and much discussion.
