Publisher's Summary

The Angels Weep is the third best-selling book in Wilbur Smith's Ballantyne Novels - an epic exploration into the dark past of colonial Africa.

At the dawn of a new century, the pioneers of Rhodesia have staked their claims and stocked their farms in the land they have carved as their own. But in the hills, the Matabele indunas are preparing for the bloody rebellion which will scar the opponents for ever - and etch for them the same tragic legacy for generations to come....

The dramatic story of the Ballantynes concludes in The Leopard Hunts in Darkness.

Aagh the Ballentine’s

As a Courtney fan, I’m now a fan of this family too….

Nobody describes Africa and the culture with its sounds, smells, sights and characters quite like Wilbur Smith.

Classic Wilbur Smith

Simply great story telling, Wilbur Smith is truly inspirational. Looking forward to revisiting many of his other stories I read so long ago.
