An Angel's Demise

Belle Acres is a dairy farm in the district of Somabhula in Southern Rhodesia.
The year is 1977, and the farm has been in the hands of the Williams family
since the turn of the century. The farm is managed by Paul Williams, a
seemingly harsh and bigoted man, who holds the livelihood of many black
labourers in his hands.

Maria, the daughter of one of the workers, joins the liberation movement,
leaving behind her daughter, Angel in the care of her mother and grandmother
who have been in service to the Williams family for years. Angel grows up on
the farm during two and a half momentous decades that see a complicated
history and legacy unfold into an equally complicated present.

An Angel’s Demise deals with a woman’s quest to unearth her identity and assert
her independence. In the process of self-discovery, she loses herself completely
and realises that sometimes you need to be totally uprooted before you can
establish yourself.
