In the spring of 1976, matters of the heart are strictly controlled by racist doctrines. In that toxic mix of segregation and tribal mistrust, an unlikely union between a black man and a white woman - an Afrikaner - shocks the nation.
The Zebra Affaire: An Apartheid Love Story
It's the spring of '76. For Elsa, her affair with Stanwell may well prove lethal, as she's white and he's black, and they dared to fall in love in apartheid South Africa. The terrified lovers are the prey in a deadly manhunt from the golden city of Johannesburg to the exotic but dangerous wilds of the African Bushveld.
When affairs of the State battle affaires of the heart, ordinary people become heroes!
The Zebra Affaire is a thrilling fusion of romance and suspense - laced with rich South African history. The tension is palpable as the persecuted couple race against time and bigotry. Reviewers rave about this intimate, yet dangerous, love story, that's set against a canvas that is both vividly authentic and powerfully provocative.

Reseñas de la Crítica
Unfortunately, we are still challenged across the racial divide. Change does not come easy. And that is why “The Zebra Affaire” is really significant, and why I’m so grateful I discovered and heard it. I sincerely hope this audiobook makes its way to the Museum of Tolerance, colleges, schools and other venues that champion human rights and dignity. I believe it is that important!

The combination of this forbidden love and the setting combined to create a story that as tragic as it is beautiful.
The narrator did a fantastic job of matching voices to the characters and conveying the emotions and tones of the story.

Would you try another book from Mark Fine and/or Dennis Kleinman?
From this book, it is quite clear that Mark Fine had done the homework to write the story set in apartheid Africa. The geography and culture of that time and place are meticulously described in this book. Thus, I believe that Mark Fine has at least that quality down. But the main characters themselves sounded like they were made using cookie-cutter. i.e. they felt like cardboard characters. Thus, I think the author can do a better job at writing non-fiction / historical books, than fiction. I will surely try out any nonfiction, if Mark Fine writes one.Would you ever listen to anything by Mark Fine again?
