Afrika se eeue oue magiesheid en hartstog vorm die agtergrond van die intiem verweefde komedie en tragedie in hierdie roman. Dit is gebaseer op die historiese figuur Kupido Kakkerlak (c. 1760 – c. 1825) se lewe. Maar die raaisel van 'n mens se lewe word ten beste met die verbeelding benader. Kupido is nie gebore nie, 'n arend het hom gebring. In daardie tyd het ook 'n bidsprinkaan verskyn - 'n teken van die gode. Wonderwerke het soos optelgoed op die aarde rondgele. Nadat Heitsi-Eibib in die veld aan Kupido verskyn het, raak hy as baasjagter bekend tot ver buite die grense van die boereplaas waar hy grootword. Hy is ook die drinker, leuenaar, minnaar en bakleier van die kontrei. Onder die sendeling dr. Van der Kemp se invloed word hy egter die eerste Khoi wat as sendeling aan die Kaap die Goeie Hoop georden is.
Die selfmoord van haar kleintydse vriendin, Mignon, laat Maggie McKairn met meer vrae as antwoorde. Wat het met Mignon gebeur in die jare wat hulle mekaar nie gesien het nie wat haar so bitter gemaak het dat sy nie meer kans gesien het om te lewe nie? En waarom het Mignon se familie alle kontak met haar verbreek? Op skool moes Maggie en Mignon pouses op hul eie speel en die spot van die ander kinders trotseer. Maggie omdat sy die streng skoolhoof se rooikopdogter is en Mignon omdat sy 'n Jehova-getuie is. En Maggie weet uit eie ervaring hoe ongenaakbare dissipline ’n kind lewenslank kan knou. Voor haar dood het Mignon vir Maggie gevra om ’n vrou in die tronk te gaan opsoek. Bea Mostert, ook 'n Jehova-getuie, is tot dertig jaar tronkstraf gevonnis vir ’n onmenslike daad. Wat in die Mignon en Bea se lewens het hul tot sulke uiterstes gedwing?
He was dragged onto the yard by a thong. A boy. A stranger. Off balance on his clumsy feet, the floppy hat pulled down low over his jug ears, red in the face because of the thong around his neck. The people gawking at him were not used to strangers. Here where they stay no-one has lived before. Their leader led their trek here more or less six years ago, dug the heel of his velskoen into the ground, made a possessive sweep with his big hand and declared the area his property. Here his word was law. The pastor confirmed his authority through the Bible. Also over the indentured, those children brought back to the laager after punitive raids against the indigenous people. The fathers and mothers were shot –stock thieves surely, all of them – and the children were carried away to be reared as slaves.The indentured.The boy on the rope sees a black girl staring at him from under the peak of a bonnet. Only later, locked up in a smithy, will he discover who and what she is. And when he is taken along on an expedition to recapture stolen stock, he is confronted with the horrid reality of her life: a child who was snatched from between the corpses of her parents and carried away on the saddle of a horseman.And it will be this simple boy, dragged onto that trekkers’ yard by a thong, who will bring it home in that godforsaken hinterland that there is no bond as durable, no rope as strong, as the commitment a heart makes.
