Five Lives at Noon by Brent Meersman

A young black woman and a young white man return from exile in London. A human rights lawyer searches for a missing comrade and his own redemption. An ex-South African Defence Force soldier descends into the carnage of the civil war in KwaZulu-Natal. Their lives will be set on an inevitable, but unexpected, collision course.

From the release of Nelson Mandela in 1990 to the day of the first democratic election in 1994, Five Lives at Noon ventures into the crucible in which the new South Africa was forged. As South Africa marks 20 years since the advent of democracy, these five lives uncover the price paid for that political settlement.
