Vultures in the Wind by Peter Rimmer, South Africa-set 1960s-1990s period literary drama novel centering around two friends whose lives are affected by apartheid, originally out from HarperCollins in 1997.

In the peace and paradise of a rural coastal village, two boys are born on the same day, one white, one black.

Their childhood is idyllic and their friendship lasts a life time, but the peace and paradise is short lived. South Africa transcends into anarchy, racism and civil war.

Finding themselves alone in the world, both boys embark on self-education and strive to survive in the ever-changing landscape of South Africa. Matthew Gray succeeds in building a business empire both in England and South Africa whereas Luke Mbeki travels to England to continue his education.

Both men's lives cross over intermittently throughout the years, until the release of Nelson Mandela. Mandela's release is a sign for men like Luke to return home, and when he does, Luke involves himself in the negotiations for a new and free South Africa, and a democratically elected government. But their story doesn't end there.
