When the bell tolls thirty-two times in a single Sunday, seventeen-year-old Nomvula starts counting. By Thursday it has tolled sixty-seven times. By Monday morning she has a question for her teacher, and she will not let it go unanswered.
Sipho is thirty-nine years old, a former provincial sprinting champion turned schoolteacher in the Thokoza township east of Johannesburg. He is decent, careful, and very good at telling himself he cannot hear things. But Nomvula's question - are you going to do something or not? - finds the one place in him that his silence cannot reach.
He drives east into the Mpumalanga hills with an unreliable Corolla, eight hundred rand, and a promise. What he finds in the dying village of Phola - a rogue doctor working alone, a government that has chosen not to act, and a cargo plane circling the valley with its landing gear down and its transponder off - will demand more than he imagined when he made that promise.
The Bell of Crimson Skies is a sweeping first-person thriller set against the landscape and conscience of contemporary South Africa. It is a novel about corruption and courage, about the distance between knowing something is wrong and doing something about it, and about the quiet, irreversible power of a promise kept. Drawing on the lyrical traditions of Zakes Mda, the moral urgency of Arthur Miller, and the gritty South African realism of Deon Meyer, T. G. Nduna has written a story that is at once intimate and vast - the story of one ordinary man who chose, finally, to be in the right place.

"The bell had been ringing for days and I had been telling myself I couldn't hear it. Now I was going to have to figure out what answering it meant."vv
