'Herman C. Bosman has written a large number of stories with South African setting over a period of more than a dozen years, and several of these stories have been translated and published locally under various titles.
JACARANDA IN THE NIGHT is a study of the stress and emotional compulsions pervading the inner lives of the inhabitants of a small Transvaal town, in striking contrast to the air of tranquility that dorp life wears on the outside.
It is a strong story, with the lusts and conflicts of the characters closely woven into the dark fabric of nature's seasonal changes.
The book is described as representing a significant contribution to contemporary South African literature.' - editor's note
