How the Water Falls gave me my first real taste of what life was like just before and during the fall of Apartheid in South Africa. Stunningly written and thoroughly researched, this novel is rich with well-developed characters and is a vivid story of fear, hate, love, and redemption.KP Kollenborn has mastered the craft of creating a dramatic, gripping story while making important points about this very painful and violent time in history. The writing is beautiful, the plot is so well-constructed, and all in all, this book is at the very least on par with works of historical fiction coming out of the big publishing houses, if not better.I dare say that this book could well win some awards. It's hard not to imagine what the movie version would be like. With any luck, we may actually see that someday.
