Description

THE SEARCH FOR MUKUROB, an uplifting contemporary novel, takes you on a thought-provoking journey deep into the roots of humankind.

David Callaghan, a young Catholic priest in a small Irish town, is devastated by the brutal murder of his childhood friend in the hands of extremists and begins to question what went wrong in the human odyssey.

This is when he stumbles across an article on the identification of the most ancient humans on Earth - the San people of the Kalahari Desert. To try to discover where it all went so terribly off track, David takes a sabbatical from the priesthood and joins an anthropological mission in Africa.

Stuck in the middle of the desert with an eclectic bunch of scientists, murder, and romance intertwine on this unpredictable exploit. The inevitable clash of beliefs ultimately compels the priest and the anthropologists to embark on a philosophical battle, forcing David to profoundly question what it means to stay true to himself.

Will Father Callaghan unearth the answer to what went wrong with the human saga? Will his faith be restored? Will an unlikely romance restrain him from returning to the priesthood?

Initially, I wanted to read the book because it is set in Africa and has lots of interesting facts about the local San tribe, which was as intriguing as I had wished for. However, I was smitten by this profound and unpretentious investigation into one man’s complex search for meaning. I also found it easy to read and really enjoyed the playful way the author built a handful of strong and memorable characters. All in all, a heartfelt, sensitive, and philosophically enticing novel in tune with contemporary issues.
