About This Book

A narrator raised in a frontier settlement describes being fostered and brought up among Tsulu companions, then sent away for schooling and later returning to Natal to rejoin his foster-brother Ula. After learning that their shared wet-nurse has been restored to favor by the ruler Cetewayo, he sells his estate and goes to the royal kraal. The account traces his reintegration into Tsulu society, contrasts between local customs and European upbringing, and the personal and political tensions that surface at the ruler’s court and along the borderlands.
