Set during apartheid in rural South Africa, Hill of Fools tells a classic tale of forbidden love and tragedy as two rival families fight over ancient feuds.

Although arranged to marry one of the most powerful men in her village, Zuziwe falls deeply in love with a young warrior across the river, Bhuqa.

A leading fighter in his own village, Bhuqa is caught between his love for Zuziwe and the long-standing grudge that their families have inherited - a rivalry so old that no one remembers how it began.

As peace negotiations between the two tribes crumble, Zuziwe and Bhuqa's hopes for a future together fall further and further away while violence threatens to ruin everything they hold dear.

Hill of Fools is a heartfelt portrayal of tribalism in South Africa, rich with Xhosa idioms and age-old traditions. R.L. Peteni weaves together an unforgettable tale of two lovers doomed by past prejudice.
