At once a political adventure, a social comedy and a passionate love story, "Mortals" chronicles the misadventures of three expat Americans in 1990s Botswana: a contract CIA agent, operating undercover as a teacher of Milton; his beloved but disaffected wife; and an iconoclastic black holistic physician on a personal mission to 'lift the yoke of Christian belief from Africa'. The machinations of these three entangle them with a local populist leader. And when a violent but pathetic insurrection erupts - stoked in part by the erotic and political intrigues of the American trio - the outcome is both explosive and explosively funny. "Mortals" constitutes the final element in Norman Rush's trilogy on the Western presence in contemporary southern Africa, and examines with wit and insight the dilemmas of power, religion, rebellion, and contending versions of liberation and love, through lives lived ardently in an unforgiving land. "Rush is masterful at unfolding the tender, laconic truths of love, lust and guilt". ("Guardian"). "Serious and well written - I enjoyed every word". ("Observer"). "I could not stop reading it - A remarkable book". ("Daily Telegraph"). "In the venerable tradition of Graham Greene and John le Carr-, Norman Rush has woven international espionage with its equally sordid twin, romantic betrayal - Mr Rush has an uncanny understanding of Africa". ("The Economist").
