Imraan Coovadia

In ten chapters that describe ten days spread over four decades—from 1970 to 2010—this new novel from the Durban-born writer Imraan Coovadia gives us a rich and intimate history of South Africa. Set in locations including a boarding school in the South African region of Natal, the streets of London, and a rugby stadium in Johannesburg, Tales of the Metric System shows how events that are seemingly unrelated can connect, sending tidal waves through the lives of ordinary and extraordinary South Africans alike.
